Green Township Cemeteries. Fairview Located on the north side of IN 28, next to the Fairview Methodist Church (I took pictures of that church and cemetery in general today as well) Burials started in 1840. Memorial Stone for War of 1812 of soldiers passed by to the Battle of the Mississinewa. Caylor Family On the north side of IN 28 just east of IN 1, single stone fenced in with members of the Caylor Family. (took a picture today) Emmetsville North Side of IN 28 at 675 West, 1st burials in 1880s. Rockingham South of Emmetsville at the Mississinewa River on 700 West. Town was platted by Wm. Merine in 1833. Steubenville On the east side of IN 1, just south of the Mississinewa River, cemetery started in the 1830s. Soldiers of 1812 Just north of the Mississinewa River on the west side of IN 1, near Dinner Creek (named by the soldiers who stopped there to have dinner) 3 soldiers were killed along with their horses in sand pits in the woods there. It is marked as a dangerous area still. Hopewell (new part is called Greenlawn) located at the north side of 550 North between 700 West and 800 West (near Brinkly/Shedville) Gina has pictures of all the stones at Hopewell, it is a huge cemetery in the area. Might be worth your while to look there on INRANDOL website. http://www.ingenweb.org/inrandolph/Records/index.htm otherwise you will need to get the death certificates and contact the historical society. www.randolphcountyindianahistoricalsociety.org Emmettsville is so close to Jay County, you might need to spread your search as well that way. And keep in mind that if they don't have death certificates for them in Randolph County, it is possible that they might of went to a hospital in another county and passed there, and that would be where you would find their death certificates. The historical society might have obits for them, which might list their burial location as well. I take it that you have found them in the census with the 10 year span you give for their deaths. With the death indexes and obit books at the historical society, we should be able to zero in on them. Andrea Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
