    3. I need a link to Quaker Records for your area. Seems my Samuel Smith father of Temple and Gfather of Temple Jr and a fellow name of Joseph Hockett built a double log cabin for a "Friends" meeting house. Just wondered if there are records of the church in existence may tell me who my Smiths' were and exactly who the children were of Temple Sr and when some of them died and where they were interred.

    1. [INRANDOL] Vandals damage pioneer cemetery

    3. Vandals damage pioneer cemetery By RICK YENCER [email protected] ELIZABETHTOWN - Only a cemetery stands where a long forgotten town was settled along the Mississinewa River around 1836. That site, on Delaware County Road 1275-N near Wheeling with more than 500 grave sites, was the victim of vandalism and theft in recent days. "We were just amazed this could happen," said Jack Atkinson, who takes care of the pioneer cemetery with his brother, Joe. Thirteen stones in the old part of the cemetery were damaged or pushed over , and a concrete angel was taken from one of the stones, according to Indiana State Police Trooper Will Hughes, who investigated the incident. One of the damaged stones marked the grave of Elizabeth Wilson, the wife of Joseph Wilson, the founder of the town that bears his wife's name. Elizabeth Wilson died in 1838 and Joseph Wilson donated an acre of his farm for the cemetery where she was buried, according to Helm's History of Delaware County. While the town had faded by the early 1900s, residents of the area - including nearby Grant and Blackford counties - still have grave sites at the cemetery, which averages a handful of burials each year.
