I remember them moving the "Old Cemetery" Must have been in the 50's or thereabouts. Story at the time was that in order to move the body, they had to contact living kin and get permission .I also remember being told that not all the boides were moved. It was really a great woodsy place when I was a kid, lots of wild flowers, remember riding out there on my bike.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Kennedy, Manes, Briggs, McChristy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Bk.2ADE/1183.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, I have the flu. I would like to know about George R. Kennedy and Stephen Kennedy. They also had a sister Mary E. who married a Stewart in Wayne County. Not sure when she married now. I was hoping for any Manes in 1870. These would be children of Silas and Freelove Manes who were not living in Randolph County in the 1870s. They had nine children and two sons died in the Civil War. Manes is the way this family spelled their name, but they could be under Manus or Manis or Maness. There would be a William McChristy too. I would like that information if possible. I think this is all. I will just wait on the others. These are my primary ones now. I think that is all for now.

I have a list that was in the Tucker's History that I am working on getting on the site. It lists who was buried there,and mentions who were moved to Fountain Park, but Tucker only listed people of a certain age, he didn't include any children in his lists. All the information on the cemeteries from Tucker's History is that way, no children were listed. So keep that in mind when reading the lists.

Hello, Karen -- Bingo! We have a match. Enos Riley Hiatt was my late husband's grandfather. Will be glad to exchange info -- My husband was born DeLoe Robert Hiatt, Jr., 1/1/1927 while his father was working in Chicago. Both of his parents were Randolph County born -- and were high school sweethearts, who married at age 18. His mother was an EAGY. Three years ago we found a first cousin, son of DeLoe Sr.'s brother Rhea Hiatt (yes, RHEA, pronounced REE, is a man's name). Of Rhea's five children, only Burt is still alive -- and he still lives in Randolph County, in winchester, near the Enos Hiatt homestead. My husband answered to Bob Hiatt -- DeLoe and Rhea are not everyday names -- and it was a delight to see him and Burt standing toe-to-toe for the first time in their lives -- Bob at 75 and Burt at 82 -- facial expressions and gestures were so much alike -- they even STOOD the same way. I've been meaning to get back to Winchester to visit Burt and Betty -- but -- in the year since Bob died, I've not felt up to it. Spent a lot of time out of Ohio, visiting my mother and sister in Florida. Home now. Sure do miss Bob's sitting behind me while I worked on genealogy -- when he'd think of another fact from his interesting life (he left home at age 12, after his mother died -- worked as a cowboy, forest ranger, race car driver -- not in that order -- and made his living fixing things -- troubleshooting factories in trouble, building machinery, working in wood to 1/1000ths of an inch.) Would be glad to share the stories Bob told about his father and grandfather -- and the research we gathered. Lynn Messina was our first HIATT genealogical angel, and I think she still lives in Randolph County. She set us on the pathway, and was the first to connect us to the HIATT clan, Quaker immigrants, who came over on Penn's second ship -- Bob was 9th generation. Lynn knows so much HIATT information, that, for a while, I thought she had memorized the Hiett-Hiatt book (:-) but in truth she has gone beyond the book, and added a lot more information to the family tree and could probably write her own book. Did you know that Enos Riley Hiatt was a covered-wagon child -- from Indiana to Missouri? Two Hiatt sisters and their husbands (one of them a HIATT cousin, the other Pleasant Stanley) were pioneers. Then the husbands died, and the widows and their younger children went back home to Randolph County. And later, Enos married his cousin Elizabeth Stanley. I'm looking now at that generation -- and it looks as if one of his HIATT relatives married one of Elizabeth's siblings. (Actually, that's what we were looking at when Bob died, Oct. 2002 -- and I haven't done a thing since then. This might get me going again.) Done. Glad to hear from you.

I remember going to Heaston Cemetery on Western Avenue. They moved all the graves elsewhere and there used to be one that I particularly wanted to see everytime I went there. I was across from my mother's old home place where my aunt and uncle lived till he died in 1964. The little grave of a baby called "our Johnny". I always wondered about that. I think he was a twin and they had an article I wish I had about that when they moved his grave somewhere else. Does anyone have that article by chance or know where I could get it? It is a memory I carry with me to this day. They built a subdivision there and so the cemetery had to go. It was wooded and so pleasant to walk through, peaceful, etc. Linda Hartley

I've been contacted by an interent seller who has a picture taken by my late husband's grandfather, Enos Hiatt, who had a portrait studio in Winchester, Indiana in the late 1800's and early 1900's. There is a good photograph of a young man displayed on the net -- I don't recognize him as a HIATT, but then -- how big WAS Winchester at that time? He's somebody's relative! http://www.eclecta.com/catalog15.4.html (The seller wrote me a lovely note -- he'd found my name on a Google search -- it was quite a treat to see the beautiful work of Bob's grandfather. I recognized the style right away -- crisp, clear and beautifully lit.) There are a few other photos with an Indiana connection -- and all worth seeing as a historical highlight. Warm regards, Karen King Hiatt in cold and snowy Ohio P.S. And you all haven't heard from me much since Bob died last October. I've been resting and healing -- but LURKING on the list, saving a few e-mails to deal with when I'm up to researching HIATT again! Soon, I think.
