UEB, Thanks, that also fits in with where they said some of the sale items came from. Do we have any one on the list that would be familiar with cemeteries in Martin county?

I found this at the library today. >From "Cemeteries of Martin County, Indiana", Compiled by The Martin County Historical Society, Inc., 1963-1971, Volume III, page 325: Springhill Cemetery, Shoals, (Martin Co.) Indiana Martz: Frank Died Aug. 29, 1876 - age 51 - Born in Paris, France Martz: Mary S. Died Jan. 17, 1870 - age 41 - Born in Paris, France The best person to contact in Martin County that I know of would be Nancy Baker at nbaker@dmrtc.net . I don't know what, if any, official position she may hold, but if the question is Martin County history, she usually has the answer. If she can't help you personally, I'm sure she can point you in the right direction.
