Hi folks, I have had an inquiry about a Patton Cemetery which is said to be located south of Sugar Grove in Jackson twp. Does anyone have any information about this cemetery? It is not among the cemeteries that we have on our list. Thanks for your help. Adina ======================================================= "Do you know where the Patton Cemetery is located? I notice the Tipp Web had a query about Patton. The item states it is south of Sugar Grove on the Patton land. PATTON, David – (1835 - 29 Feb 1880) -Last Saturday the remains of David Patton were brought here from near Veedersburg, Indiana, where he died twenty-eight years ago the 29th of last February from pneumonia. He went there to attend to some business and it was very cold. He walked three and one half miles out in the country, took cold and pneumonia set in and he died, aged sixty-five years. His wife, Mrs. Jane Patton, and the surviving children, Lafayette Patton, Mrs. James Flagg and Mrs. Cade, of Danville, desired to have his remains brought here and interred in the PATTON CEMETERY on their own land, south of Sugar Grove. The case containing the remains is a metallic one and in a fine state of preservation. Mrs. Finney conveyed the remains by hearse to the grave where it was interred Saturday afternoon. (Monday July 24, 1908 - Lafayette, Indiana, newspaper)"
I just took a quick scan of some old directories and didn't see any Pattons owning land near Sugar Grove. However, I did find a Charles Cade owning land in Jackson Township (where Sugar Grove is). Could Cade be Mrs. Jane Patton's maiden name? I might suggest looking at some of the old plat books to see what you could find on the Patton family. --Rob Adina Watkins Dyer wrote: >Hi folks, > >I have had an inquiry about a Patton Cemetery which is said to be located >south of Sugar Grove in Jackson twp.
