> The Church is know as Mount Hope in Clinton County. Sorry about that. > About 2 miles out of Rossville on CR 700 N. This is what I have for that name. MOUNT HOPE S5 T22N R1W 40°23'13"N 86°33'08"W The cemetery is on the south side of CR700N, between CR250W and CR300W. From US421/SR39, go east on CR700N for 1.8 mile. From SR75, go west on CR700N for 1.5 mile. Another place to check would be topographic maps. Sometimes they show cemeteries, even without names. They usually don't remove a cemetery even though that cemetery was moved (usually for a lake) or had disappeared. Beware of names, though. Sometimes the map has the wrong name, and often no name at all. Sharon Howell

Dear Sharon, The Church is gone, not the cemetery. If someone is going to do research on a Church connected to a cemetery they will need to know more about the Church. I think Rich had the right idea. In order to find more about some people or places you have to find a collections of personal papers to dig into. Collections sometimes are at Church archives and sometimes in libraries. Could anyone like to share anything stories about personal papers?

When my grandmother died, we found the original deed to Bethlehem Church on SR58 east of Carlisle. It was for a church, not to include a cemetery. My grandmother's grandparents donated land for the cemetery. They lived just south of the church. The church building had been sold to an independent congregation. A couple of years later, I asked about that deed and a plat map of the east side of Carlisle. Nobody knows where they are. They were being passed around through the family. How my grandmother ended up with the original deed is a mystery to us. Sharon Howell
