Hello everyone. I am curious about the number of cemeteries known in each county in Indiana. The reason I ask is that Hancock Co. has 92 "known" cemeteries. This seems like a low number to me. Does anyone have a tally? Angela Tielking tielking@knightstown.net

Dear Angela: I've identified approximately 190 in Clark Co. The number at one time reached about 210, but I eliminated a number of duplicates (different names; same property). Since I add 2 to 4 new ones a year to that number, I'm sure we'll top 200 eventually. And, of course, there are dozens that we'll NEVER know about -- the tiny ones that no one ever recorded, isolated graves, Indian burial sites, etc. Also, that 190 includes the ones that are "GONE", the ones we can't find them, but we KNOW they existed. Bear in mind that the Clark Co. area was settled a good deal earlier than most of the rest of the state. And, when the settlers came here, they fanned out all over the place. I seem to recall Monroe Co.'s number being something in the neighborhood of 300. I think Tippecanoe Co. has identified something like 133.

At last count Dearborn was somewhere in the neighborhood of 150, but we are still finding them after about 25 years of searching.
