Hi Coleen: Think there might be some confusion as there was more than one Temple Smith in Indiana during the timeframe you describe. There was a Temple Smith married to Priscilla Crossley on August 23, 1827 in Randolph County, Indiana, who had a son, Temple Smith, born September 15, 1842 and died June 5, 1894 in North Platte, Lincoln, Nebraska. He married Martha Ann Scott, daughter of John Scott and they had 13 children if I counted correctly. Temple Smith, Sr's parents were Samuel & Elizabeth (Calhoun) Smith. There was another Templeton Smith born on December 16, 1809 in Virginia and died on April 7, 1876 in Roscoe, St. Clair, Missouri. He married Martha Ann Mansfield on June 27, 1837 in Delaware County, Indiana. His father was George Smith & Elizabeth (Cook). George was born in Virginia. I could find no record of a Martha Ann Scott Mansfield married to Temple Smith. Hope this helps.

I've had good luck by using a mirror to reflect sunlight straight across the stone to create shadows in the lettering. My homemade mirror is light and unbreakable...a piece of cardboard, a foot or more square, covered with aluminum foil. You also need something, like a stick, to prop it up at the correct angle. Tim Singleton Volunteer Adams Co. INGenWeb Coordinator http://www.rootsweb.com/~inadams2/ ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at iclub.org

Karleen, I take a lot of stone pictures, Helen Wildermuth of http://www.stonehugger.com/ told me last summer that her ideal time of day to take pictures was about 2pm. I don't get to cemeteries very often at that time, more like 6pm. I often will take more than one picture of a stone, one with the sun on the lettering, and then I stand in front of it to cast a shadow on it and take a picture. I have also had luck at using a spray bottle, I use a spray bottle that has never had anything else in it other than distilled water, and will wet the stone and take a picture. So if I plan ahead, I carry a gallon or two of distilled water with me, depending on what I have found in previous visits to the cemetery, it's also a good way to clean off someone else's chaulking that was done and not cleaned off. When I've been fortunate once to have help from the hubby, we wet the stone and then he held an giant umberella to shade the stone, those were great pictures of some sandstone ones. The hardest ones for me to photograph are the polished granites, the sun just reflects so much, you can't get around the glare, so take different angles, you'll just have to piece together the info that way. Unless you can go back on a cloudy day, for more of those to add to your file. It is very hard to get a clear picture of a stone that is in a deep shadow of a tree or bush, if you have someone else with you, have them hold the plant or leaves away from the stone as much as possible. Make note of where it is, just in case you need to have someone local go back in the fall once the frost has taken care of the foliage to get a better picture as there will be more lighting to get it and the licken or moss will be retreating as well then. You will end up with lots of pictures on your card, so try to take a laptop with you or extra cards so you can get your work done all at one time. The higher dpi or resolution you take the more you can zoom in on your pictures afterwards. Take extra batteries, a battery charger that you can plug into your cig lighter in your car is a great help. For my camera, two sets of batteries for a cemetery with 200 stones will cover me, but you know your camera better than anyone else. Turn off your flash if you can, saves battery power, and you don't need it anyway, plus it saves time between pictures if it doesn't have to wait for that part of it to register. Before I start, I take a picture of the Cemetery Name Marker if there is one, I take pictures of the cemetery in general, and when I am all done I take another picture of the Cemetery Name Marker. I do this because I often go to more than one cemetery in a day, and that way I know what cemetery these pictures are from days later. Another thing I like to do now, is I take a picture of the row from the end, take the pictures of the stones in that row and then take another picture of the row at the other end, this is when I am doing the whole cemetery. So that when I get home, I know how many rows there were and what row a stone is in in perticular when someone asks me. Make sure to check the back sides of stones, for other information like kids, military or other burials on there, sometimes, children's names and dates are ingraved at the very bottom of a stone below the parents names, and you might not see it unless you smush down the grass or whatever infront of it. Sometimes you will also see plot makers, they may have just a number on them or the plot owners initals. These can vary even in the same cemetery. Some plain, some even fancy, I photograph those as well, and any other stone that happens to be in the row, as some burials are simply marked with a fieldstone. I've tried to use a mirror, to add extra light on a stone, but have never found a way to hold it just right and take a picture at the same time, but maybe if you are going to have help, then you can try it. I find a lot of stones I that I can not read while there, with my eyes. So I will often feel the stone with my eyes closed to feel out the lettering or to even find which side to photograph, I write down what I feel and hope the photograph will also turn out, many times the photos are easier to read than the stones were. Take a shot of the whole stone and then several up close. Be prepared for muddy knees, I get down on my knees to take pictures at eye level with the smaller stones, and those tip over facing down. Be prepared for bugs and snakes. You never know. Take water drink, it's thirsty work, not all cemeteries have a pump, and some of them are not safe to drink from anyway.

It is not available here in Randolph County, except for the accual newspaper, but when I went to the Farmland Public Library, where Greg Hinshaw had taken the old papers back to, they told me they didn't have them, and they don't have a microfilm reader either, no room they said. The library is tiny. So unless the Allen County Public Library has a copy of the microfilm, then you will have to borrow them from the State Library. Andrea -----Original Message----- Hi, Can anyone tell me if the old Farmland Enterprise newspapers are available to look at in the Allen County library? Or in the Winchester library? Or where?

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the old Farmland Enterprise newspapers are available to look at in the Allen County library? Or in the Winchester library? Or where? Gina, yes, I have tried to connect John Chandler to the Henry Chandler family, to no avail so far. He did not take under Henry's will. I have considered that he might be a nephew and came with them to Indiana from Ohio but just cannot find anything supporting that. Incidentally, that family is Mayflower descendants and yes, the grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. While looking for John I found two of Henry's descendants online through Rootsweb, a Jeanne Avery and Tim Howe. Neither knew about the other but they are in touch now. But neither had any information about John being related to them either. This family moved on to Sauk Centre, Minnesota, after Henry died, for anyone who may be hunting for Henry's family in the future. Thanks for the suggestion and who knows, it still might turn out to be right. Thanks for everyones help! I will let you know what happens at the Health Department! Sandie Chandler Goeglein

AND: Hello, I just spoke with some Frank from Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral Homes here in Marion. He suggested that if anyone has people who were served by them, that if you would contact them between now and Wednesday with the names you are looking for, they would search their records and have whatever information that may be available ready before GenFest. Please don't over run them with 30 names you are looking for, but if you have a few names that were buried by Needham's, please contact them and help them not be over run during GenFest. Thanks!

I have no idea if they would do that. I am sure that if you would go to the trouble of seeking what books each death is listed in the indexes at the Museum (Monisa), and then fill out a form for each one to be done, along with a note then maybe they would do it that way, but I would suggest that you call them to find out. I am not aware of the County Health Dept having a public web-site/e-mail, I do know they have internal e-mail, but I don't have an e-mail address. For the forms... http://www.pceaze.com/genealogy/rcibios/Tools.html 325 S.Oak St. Suite 202, Winchester, IN 47394 (this is the old hospital at Oak St and Greenville Pike) (765)584-1155 I do know that they will not do a general search for someone, you need to provide a name and a date, they will look a few years back and forth, but really don't want to take the time to do more, so it is recomended by them that you contact the museum for the index info first. Museum 416 S. Meridian St., Winchester, IN 47394 (765)584-1334 I have set up an e-mail address for the museum, which Marjorie Birtwhistle or Shirley Swallow are answering it. [email protected], I am currently working on a brand new web-site for the museum and hope to have it up and running sometime in June. That is true about the earlier books illegitimate births were done in the same books as with the other births. I am not sure what year they started keeping a separate book for illegitimate births, Monisa can answer that question. She has also told me that adoptions before the 1940s were public, and are listed in the civil court papers at the clerks office at the courthouse. Before 1900, adoptions were very easy to do, and not all adoptions went through the court system. Andrea -----Original Message----- From:JT Hi Andrea, I will be in Winchester/Greenville/Union City the end of June and would like to pick up several (or some) death certificates at that time. If I provide the names and information to someone (Health Dept.? Monisa? ...) can they be ready for me to pay for and pick up when I get there? P.S. Regarding the access question and BIRTH records, Monisa once told me that if they let us look at the books, in the surrounding lines, we might see that someone (other than the person we were searching for) had an illegitimate birth or was an illegitimate child.

I was wondering if there are any JERRELL/S on the list that live in or come from GREENE, SULLIVAN, KNOX, and CLAY counties in INDIANA or surrounding counties??? Or had JERRELL/S ancestors from there. If so, I'd love to hear from you. I am trying to get farther back on my Jerrells line which ends with Jefferson Jerrells born 1813 in CLAY he list his father as John Jerrells but I never have been able John. I am going on a hunch that my Jerrells may come from Charles or William FITZGERALD/FITZJERREL both Rev. war vets who settled in these parts of IN???
