Hi, Is Burton Cemetery in Lafayette? Thanks Jean

Jean, Burton Cemetery is west of Lafayette and is on the corner of U.S. 52 and Tyler Road, directly across from Klondike Middle School. Jane Heine has done a transcription of the cemetery: http://www.in-motion.net/%7Ejaheine/TippyCemetery/BurtonCemetery.html and I have added a few photos from the cemetery to the Tippecanoe Co GenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/BurtonCem.html The Gates family tombstone photos are from my Gates line. Henry Gates Sr. was my 4gr. grandfather. Adina

Jean, It's in the Klondike area off 52 and Klondike Road. Also know as, Old Bliderback. Wabash township. All know cemeteries are listed by township order. http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/tcem.html You can also find some on Find-A-Grave. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScnty=870 Most are listed here. Not many have complete burial lists, but its growing. And I try to add overall photos as I make my way around the county to both sites. I've had some luck making connections from across the US by posting my family tombstones on Find-A-Grave. For complete burial lists you need to visit the research library. L.A.

Thank You for the township info and also the link. The people who take the time to post the newspaper info deserve a BIG thanks. Thank You Susan!

Dayton Items Lafayette Weekly Journal Correspondent Dayton, B. C. Sharpe February 13, 1903 The Rebecca’s of Dayton will give a play entitled, "The Spinster’s Return >From the Klondike," in the Dayton hall next Saturday evening. The play is a sequel to the one given by the Rathbone Sisters some months ago. It will be remembered that the spinsters in that play hear of a demand for women in the Klondike, and so after being made over by Prof. Makeover, they all went to the Frozen Fields of Klondike in search of companions. This play will picture very vividly, the success achieved by the spinsters and is sure to please everyone who attends. The Dayton orchestra will furnish music for the occasion. On Saturday evening of next week the band will give another minstrel in the Dayton Hall. The program will be different in every respect except a few songs which will be repeated. All the jokes will be new and up to date, some new songs will be given and the monologues will be changed. One of the features of the entertainment will be a farce which will take about one hour to play and will be in itself an entire entertainment. The band will render some very fine concert music. In the trial of James Glenn vs. L. E. & W. Railroad company, Mr. Glenn was defeated and will receive no damages for breaking his leg. Messrs. Thompson, Morris, Cantrell, Benham and Keifer were summoned from Dayton last week to Williamsport to attend the trial of Glenn vs. L. E. & W. Courtney Thompson has his saxophone and is beginning to practice with the band. Despite the cold weather a large number were present at Mr. Glaze’s sale in Wyandotte last Wednesday. The M. E. church society furnished dinner. The lecture given by Dr. Cole of Lafayette was enjoyed by all. It was intensely interesting and Dr. Cole held his audience in perfect control for over two hours. His lecture, "A Trip Through the Holy Land," was ably illustrated by Dr. Todd of Lafayette, who used a stereopticon. The next number of the course will be given next week on Thursday evening in the M. E. church, Mr. Pfrimmer, the "Kankakee Poet," will recite and a rare treat is expected. Mrs. Wm. Burkhalter is now recovering from a severe illness. Grandma Furman has recovered from a short spell of sickness. Rev. Wilbur is conducting revival services in Clarkshill at present. One week from next Monday the Rathbones will entertain the members of the Eastern Star lodge. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Friday, January 30, 1903 Do not forget the minstrel show to be given by the Dayton band next Saturday night. Two and one-half hours of fun. If you want seats reserved go to Wm. Burton’s store and get your tickets. Mrs. Wm. Burkhalter and child, Morette, are sick at present. Ed Dryer and family, B. C. Sharpe and family and Mrs. D. A. Dryer went bobbing to John Dryer’s home last evening. The Eastern Star Society entertained the Rathbone Sisters and Rebeckah Lodge last Friday evening. Mrs. A. C. Baker gave the welcome address and afterward a short program was given. One of the special features was a drill by the Rathbone Sisters, which was especially enjoyed by all. Refreshments, consisting of buns, coffee, cream and cake were served and all adjourned at a late hour, highly praising the Stars as typical hostesses. Mr. Glaze is building a work shop on his lot in Dayton. He will move in February. Mrs. Wm. Baer spent Wednesday evening with Mrs. Sharp. Peter Rensselaer will move into the Ballinger house next month. Mr. Shively has rented a farm one-half mile west of Frog Pond school house. The Rebecca Lodge will give a play in the near future. The M. E. Aid Society gave a quilting at Mrs. Lentz’s last Wednesday. Mrs. D. A. Dryer spent Wednesday with Mrs. E. E. Thompson. Anyone having items, please leave same at my house. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Floyd, I would be very interested in what you have concerning the descendents of Porter and Minnie. I see that I only have estimates for her birth and death dates, so hopefully you can help to fill some stuff in. I got quite a bit of information from another one of Porter's descendents last year, but would like to see what you have that I don't already have. One of my best friends in high school was a descendent of Porter's. We knew we were related then, but it wasn't until recently that I found we were fourth cousins. If you were to walk straight east of Porter's home, you would come out very close to where I grew up. I used to pass his home often driving from my folks' home to my brother's home (that way avoided a lot of gravel).

Randy, I don't know if you are interested, but I have information on the descendants of Porter (1888-1965) and Minnie Amanda (Mitman) Brand (1890-1956), as well as on the ancestry of Minnie (the sister of my grandfather).
