Because it is a family we have known for years, she was very nice and seemed interested in other history of the area I shared with her..since this is her father in law's land, I mentioned that "maybe her husband was aware"!!!! " if not I felt they would want to know ,,just in case they did come upon some signs of tombstone,etc.."..and reminded her another neighbor had plowed out a stone in the middle of a field many years back..........the elderly lady who told me, is 96 and living in a nursing home and was not aware of EXACT location.......ruth pride

Ruth, Perhaps you could "offer" to help locate it. THIS could be a project for an Eagle Scout project. Archaeologists walk grids on properties like this and space themselves like 25 feet apart or so and they all just walk the property. You'd be amazed what you can find....

Jack, let the scouts do all the paperwork. I e-mailed the Allen County, Indiana scoutmaster asking for help with the Hatfield Cemetery in Washington township, just north of Fort Wayne. The first burial there was in 1836 and I believe it is still active, last burial being in 1988, however there was a great part of it completely overgrown with quite a few broken and overturned headstones. It took six months before I heard anything back, then one day last summer I got a call from the scouts letting me know that they were ready to start. There were over 50 people there on that first day, including two cub scout packs, one boy scout troop and one Varsity scout troop. They are now about to the fence line, this is only a one acre cemetery, have made a new sign, are looking for a fence company to donate fencing, and want to build a shelter with the history of the cemetery. There is one veteran of the war of 1812, my(GGGG grandfather) there along with 15 civil war veterans. I have never been a scout and have no sons so I've never been involved with them before but let me tell you, what a GREAT bunch of people. They have made Hatfield cemetery a simi-annual project.

They're are no Secretes, but if you tell everyone at a Seminar what you do, some will go home, get Antsy and say if this works why can't we justtttt. And that is where the damaging work comes in. John teaches you what it takes to repair a stone and if you follow his instructions you will do a good job. What everyone needs to know are good sound fundamentals of repair work. After repairing stones a long period of time such as John has, I'm sure you will find harmless shortcuts that John doesn't have enough hours in a month of teaching to get into peoples heads to prevent them from doing irreparable damage. This we don't need. Practice makes perfect. Try a little harder each time. with a little luck in 3 or 4 years some of you can apply for FAYETTE CO CEMETERY SUPERINTENDENT. Right John ?? Incidentally, a Video Camera would help, But only Video tape the Actual repairs, the things that you might forget A voice recorder is also useful for recording what John explains about what he does. and doesn't do. As he explains and says "I do this" or "I don't ever do this" Those are the type things that when we get home we will say "Now how did he say to Lay this, Mix this etc., etc. Reporters do this instead of trying to write it or remember it. I know everyone on this List wants to do their very best. We all like to Brag. And everyone who can repair a stone should, you earned the right. But make sure it's worth bragging about before you do.

On August 27, 2001 I sent the following message to you for the list serve. It has not appeared to date. Was it received or is there some reason it has not been disseminated? An earlier version was rejected because of an attachment, but this version has not included one. Thanks for a response or posting of the message. Your input needed As many of you know, the Indiana Historical Bureau has been working with the Indiana Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry project of DHPA to be able to mark historic cemeteries listed in the Registry. We have been working with PEN Products (which makes all of the signs for state roads) to achieve a design that is both affordable, distinctive, informative, and dignified. The result of our efforts (proposed sign) is posted on our Web site (www.IN.gov/history), which includes both an image and specifications. We have also considered a generic sign (no name, date, or credit line) that could be available for approximately $30, plus shipping, plus $32 for two optional posts if needed. It would be 18 x 24 and be very similar to the sign illustrated on the attachment. We need your input to help us proceed with this cemetery initiative of our State Marker Program. The pricing on the sign(s) is only guaranteed for 60 days because of a forthcoming price hike by 3M which supplies the background material. In addition, the pricing is based on an initial purchase of at least 50 signs at one time. Since our funds are very limited, we do not want to front the purchase of 50 signs without some assurance that there will be purchasers for them over the next year or so. Individually purchased, the signs will cost more. OUR REQUEST! Please let us know what you think of the sign as proposed on our Web site-and about the generic concept described above. There is no commitment here, but if you think you might order such a sign in the near future, please indicate that in an e-mail reply to us (pbennett@statelib.lib.in.us) or the list.

You are gas, Kyle. And we spend a great amount of money for Helicopters each year to find that funny grass. Wonder if they are checking the cemeteries for this too!

Hi, When we have scout projects, we make it a point to be there when the work is being performed. Not really to supervise but as advisor. Usually our scout projects are just for the muscle work and the inventorying. The stone cleaning/repairing we do ourselves. We do one session each quarter, alternating between driving tours of cemeteries in the county and meetings. That we aren't always just sitting chairs! We did have one group of scouts along with LDS members who cleaned stones and they did a beautiful job. Not one mistake was made. I've found that if you caution them they will be very careful to ask if they aren't sure. I always tell them, "If in doubt, leave it alone."

We all know there are a lot of cemeteries out there. We also know a Land owner won't really go out of his way to locate one. It's hard to blame them when they bought the property without the cemetery on the Deed. But if someone in the community knows about it there's nothing wrong about a warning to the Owner. They don't want to dig into a Cemetery for a Basement. No one is that callous. That's why we need to locate them and get them back on the Deeds. Jack E. Briles Sr. Floyd Co.

Your right, I'll contact the council and see what they say. My daughter has been in Girl Scouting for 22 years, but Girl scouts can't even carry weeds or rake Leaves. Although they can stand out side the cemetery and sell Cookies as the Boy scouts drag out Brush and Tree Limbs. Someone forgot to tell the Girl Scout Council Times have changed since their rules were laid down. The Girls are tougher then most boys. Give them Tennis Shoes, Jeans and a Sweat Shirt and they will cover the Boys up. But I like my daughter abide by the rules. I am going to call the Council, but there again, that takes time to get coordinated. Wish me luck !! Jack E. Briles Sr. Floyd Co. PCRP Coordinator PO Box 444 New Albany, In. 47151-0444
