I spent the morning on the phone tracking down who is responsible for the Bethel Cemetery, Wayne Township, Hamilton Co. As I was talking to the trustee on his cellphone, while he walked around the cemetery looking for Eli's stone, Helen Wildermuth, and Mark Davis arrived. They had driven down from Portland to get the stone out of the concrete.Trustee Musselman gave them permission. By the time I got up there, they had removed a pile vinyl concrete, and cleaned & reset the stone and footstone. Eli's 151 year old stone is readable again and now a fine example of what the rest of Bethel Cemetery could look like. Helen has pictures she will post on the list when she gets back to her computer. I thank Helen & Mark from the bottom of my heart. They refused to take any payment, even though this excursion took them away from a paying job in Portland. There are many cemetery angels in this group who do work for others, help out, share their knowledge, give their time, supplies & equipment to teach others. May you all be blessed! An interesting bit about Bethel Cemetery -The Fellowship Baptist Church, which is currently in the church bldg.bought only the bldg., a path to it and ,18 inches of ground surrounding the bldg. The cemetery surrounds the church on 3 sides, and the township trustee is responsible for it. Joe Burgess of the Hamilton Co. Cemetery Commission told me he is trying to get the Cemetery deed changed from the South IN Conference of the United Methodist Church to the County. I think there are many little cemeteries in Indiana in this situation. The other ironic thing Mr. Burgess told me, was he had been looking for Eli Coverdales stone because he may be a Revolutionary War Vet. Have a good week everyone.
