Diane asked in a previous post: "I'm wondering why you as the "person in charge" (so to speak) don't require the contractors you hire to do a job properly? " You've identified a misunderstanding that perhaps others on this list also have. The Madison County Cemeterty Commission is not in charge of hiring the the mowers for the cemeteries. That is the function of the individual township trustees working on various degrees of limited budgets. We restore a pioneer cemetery, and when completed, we turn it over to the trustee for maintenance. That is the method of operation here in Madison County. Next question? Melody

List, I have worked with a lady who is seeking information on a Church cemetery in Indiana. She has been through all the normal people and place in the County and the State Library and Fort Wayne too. This was a Presbyterian church and she has also checked with the National Church archives. No one knows anything about this so far. The building is long gone, the Church was listed in the 1878? Atlas. It must have closed before the 1880's. So my question to you all. If we were to create a list of places to look for information on who is buried in a cemetery, where would you look? I will be glad to collect all your wonderful ideas for a page for future researchers. Most of these are burials before 1880's. Records end up in the strangest places. L.A.
