I received the following today and want to pass it along. I have asked for some more information about this cemetery and workdays there. Brad ______________________________________ I would like to know if there is anything that you can do to help me get a destroyed cemetery reconstructed. This cemetery was set aside in original deeds dating back to 1832. It was destroyed by a gentleman that bought the land, even though this parcel had been set aside as a cemetery. He tore down the stones, went before a judge and claimed it was never a cemetery. The judge ruled in his favor for him to sell the property (my ancestors). However, it was brought back to court and after further study of the case, in 1978, the first ruling was "set aside" and the cemetery plot was ruled to remain a cemetery. The MCCC (Madison County Cemetery Commission) have been wonderful and is working on this project with me but if I could get the interest of other groups, perhaps we could get this resolved quickly. There is a family that bought a house approximately 50 feet from the end of one corner of the cemetery area. However, they knew that it was a cemetery when they bought the house, a tax record confirms this to be true. The headstones that were taken down were piled in a corner of the property and the MCCC have since taken them into custody to keep them from being further destroyed. Could you please help? There is an American Revolutionary soldier and two War of 1812 soldiers buried in this cemetery. This is pioneers that helped to settle the state of Indiana. Thank you for any suggestions or help that you could offer. Sincerely, Sunni Larsson
