Henisser, September 13, 1876, 67 years James Hall, April 5, 1880, 81 years George Ritenour, no stone, very old. Andrew Ritenour, no stone, very old Mrs. Andrew Ritenour, 1879, no stone, very old. Isabella, wife of Ephraim Jellison, October 2, 1841, 63 years. Ephraim Jellison, May 8, 1846, 73 years.

Frederica, wife of Martin Heniser, February 12, 1877, 70 years. Sarah, wife of Christian Heaston, April 18, 1874, 67 years A Mr. Clawson is thought to have been the first burial in Ritenour's cemetery, date not known. In 1836, it had come to be extensively used. Perhaps 200 persons had by that time been laid to rest there, from the whole region for eight or ten miles around, and perhaps, farther even than that.

I have several relatives buried in Ritenour's Cemetery, but none of their names were in the two emails. My great great grandfather and some of his children are buried there, but I have been unable to find where my great grandfather and great great grandmother are buried. Do you have more names of others who are buired there ? Thanks Mike Matherly Georgia & Dick Davis wrote: > RITENOUR'S CEMETERY (con't) "The History of Randolph County Indiana" by E.

No, I am sorry I do not have any more information. I copied what was in the book hoping it would help some of the people who have been asking about cemeteries in Randolph co.
