Hello Janet and all, Thank you. I'm sure it wasn't the warmest day to be tromping around cemeteries and trying to write down inscriptions. I also wanted to point out that both Doe Creek and Salem Cemeteries are posted on-line on the Putnam County website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~inputnam/cemeteries.htm. I checked your list against what has already been posted and found only one additional name on your list that was not on-line. I have no idea what Owen County is doing to include cemetery inscriptions on their website. Janet, if you ever feel the urge to get some fresh air and learn there are a few unnamed cemeteries in Cloverdale Township that I need readings for. Just let me know and I'll tell you approximately where they are located.
