The old Clark County Cemeteries Guestbook bit the dust in January of 1999.  I tried for months to get it working again, to no avail.  In August 1999, I gave up and installed a completely new and different type of Guestbook.  You can access the new Guestbook by clicking below.

I was thrilled to see at what lengths you have gone to try to preserve these important pieces of the past. However, I am mortified to see that several cemeteries are gone or in danger of disappearing. How can people be so oblivious to pieces of our past not to mention so callous in doing this to the memory of our ancestors in their final resting place. On a lighter note, do you have the address of the church so that I might be able to contact Rev. Bowyer? Thank you, Melissa Bowyer

I am looking for any printed info on the Enoch ROBNETT b:1773 Virginia, d:aug 16, 1833 buried in New Washington, IN. Clark Co. Fouts Cemetery. I would like to add printed material to my genealogy. I enjoyed visting the Clark Co. Cemeteries as well as brow ing through the information on the others.

Comments:
I am searching for my husband's family buried there, but there does not seem to be any alfabetical order of names. It is very hard to find any unmarked graves. Looking for Tawney's, Enlow's, Ware's, and Ritter's.

You're doing a great job. I wish you success with your battle against the state allowing the older cemeteries being destroyed.

Searching for any Perkins, primarily my great great great grandmother Lousana Perkins who would most likely have died after 1832, and before 1850.

Thanks Jeannie Carlisle for census of Staples Cemetery. I have found load of new information and dates. I was unaware of this cemetery until I saw this web page.

Comments:
My only complaint is length of time needed to load but once I get it the information is great!!

Comments:
Thanks for all of your hard work.

Comments:
I wish all counties had a site like this one. I found the cemetary and even a map and directions on how to get there. However, I was able to print only the first page of the Madison Twshp cemetaries, and the Link to the row by row index http://www.rootsweb.com/~incccpc/HoosierJournal.html did not work.

Comments:
The Bowells, Carrs and Drummonds at Silver Creek are my relatives. Thank you for the great site. I look forward to visiting Clark Co. instpired by the information I found here.

Comments:
think this is a great tool to help find family members and connections. Wish Floyd Co. would get theirs listed too. Have not traced anyone bach to Clark Co. yet but since family is in and around Floyd and Harrison sure we will have some in Clark too.

Comments:
Excellent website. Your dedication to preservation is heartwarming. This is a great resource for us 'out-of-staters' researching Clark Co. relatives. Keep up the great work! Tom Frederick

Comments:
According to a distant relative, my great-great-grandfather's family, the Beggs family, came from Clark County, Indiana. This is news to me ... the farthest I've been able to trace that family line has been to Arcola, Douglas County, Illinois.

Comments:
By accident found your Website. Doing research on the Selmier's and was pleased to experience your good work. I'll be back in touch to share some information and ask some questions. Incidentally, the above e-mail address is correct, an earlier list was a mistake on my part. It is wts_lineal not wts-lineal Sorry.

Comments:
I'm thrilled to have seen the names my Great Grandparents, Henry C. and Mary E. McClellan on the list of the Bowery Cemetery. This has been a great help in my search for my ancesters. I now know birthdates and dates of death. Thank you for the beautiful Website. I would like to know if this couple had other children besides by grandfather.

Comments:
I just found out that I have some family that was born in Indiana. I hope to find what town/county soon. The surnames are Abrams(William Henry,his dad J or Enoch J. mom, (surname) McCall), & McKay are the only one's so far. Good web page.

I think it's awesome how this page is up. I wish I could have the time to make one for the Marion County, and other county, cemetaries. I perhaps might :) I enjoy visiting these places, for historical and such reasons. I found a wonderful graveyard - the Augusta Cemetary, off of Michigan avenue, in Indianapolis. I'm trying to find info about it. If anyone knows anything about this cemetary, in Marion County, any info would be obliged :) thanks for having such a great page! Sarah

Direct decendant of Peyton , Bell , Stone and Waggoner Families of Clark Cty and elsewhere throughout Indiana. Families are Pioneer Families and have been in Indiana since 1799, before that first families of Virginia , Kentucky and Carolina to mention a few.

Comments:
I am a direct descendant to John and Nancy (Hilton) Odem. I believe that there is more than a remote possibility that the John and Nancy Odom listed on your site are these people. Nancy and John were married 1 Aug 1810 in Clark Co. IN, had children ther and most likely died in the area. Could the stones, if still available, be inspected by someone there to see if the name Odem instead Odom appears? Thank you, Jay

Comments:
I really enjoyed your site! I am in search of my mothers ancestors for a school project. I know my great-great grandmother as well as her family are buried in Indiana. I'll keep looking - Thanks and keep up the good work!

Comments:
Great looking site Lois. Bill

Comments:
I am truly amazed at the Clark County Cemeteries page. The amount of information is certainly a surprise. My congratulations to you and the CCCPC. Wish I were back home in Jeff instead of stuck down here in El Paso, TX. Hope you don't mind if I drop i again. Regards, John Baldwin

I am glad to see that these are being posted on the Web. I also write FREE queries for the public in two local society newsletters and will be glad to ad any that you would like to submit. Most of our readers are without computers, therefore, I would al o need your snail mail address.

I'm just getting started in looking for my mother's ancestors. I'm not sure what county she was born in.

Today, 08-23-98 is the second time that I have read about the terrible way the State of Indiana treats their older cemeteries. I live in Ohio, and have a gr-gr-grandfather that is burried in a very small old church cemetery in a rural area. He was the l st surviving Civil War Veteran in Warren Co. Ohio, and lived to a ripe old age of 92. It brings to mind that maybe I should be concerned of what the State of Ohio might do if they decide to spread the City of Blanchester out or the City of Xenia to encom ass the land that the cemetery is on. The cemetery is only about 10 miles out in either direction of these cities. I hope that the State of Indiana comes to it's senses and that the people who have relative in these cemeteries don't stop complaining lou and clear until something is done to change the law.

Comments:
I must commend you all for the great job you all have done on the cemetary project. I am appalled by the effects on the cemetaries caused by progress,neglect, and time and indiffernce.I thought cemetaries were sacred. I wish tho more records and history c uld be put on all sites for us that live so far and have tight budgets. Again - a great job done with what you all were left to do with. Thanks.

Comments:
Sad but needs to be told. If I lived in Indiana, I would volunteer to clean a cemetery. Lona In Texas

Comments:
Thank you for putting this cemetery online - I just found my 3rd great grandparents, Ezra & Mary Haas! There are 2 more Haas names that I'll need to find more about. I guess you get several of these "thank you" messages but it is heartfelt. Thanks for ll your efforts - you've saved me, and I'm sure others, time and effort.

I'm so glad that a note was put about the Indiana code. Even though I am not an Indiana resident, I e-mailed two of the Rep. encouraging them to do something about the code. I'm hoping that many others will do likewise.

As reported in 18 July 1887 Charlestown Democrat newspaper, my ancestor, Louis LITTLE was killed in an accident in Clark County at Boyers Landing opposite Westport, but I do not know where he was buried. Louis was born 29 Oct 1867 and married to Ida Be le MORGAN.

Comments:
When I first visited this cemetery, it was in a teriable state. As my health was not such that I could attempt the project of restoration, I tried in vain to locate someone to do it. It does my heart a world of good to see what has been accomplished. My only hope is that the work will not stop here, and that an attempt will be made to uncover graves, or find grave markers which have been burried by the debris. Thanks to every one who participated in this project.

Comments:
I do not know if any of my family are buried in Clark Co.--I know some were married there and lived there. I have a number of ancestors that died in Indiana between 1827 and 1860. I have no idea where to search for them. I found some in the Hurst Cemete y in Rush Co. I think one may have died in Bartholomew Co. and one in Ripley Co.

Comments:
I wish more counties would follow your examples. This is amazing of the time and work that this has been for you. As far as I know, I don't have any ancestors buried in Clark Co., but if I found any that are, I know that I will probably find them through your great work and time. Just wanted to tell you and hope more counties will do the same. Thank you.

Comments:
I am reserching all Montgomerys that settled and remained in Clark County. This is a great service -- thank you.

Margaret Mary, b. 3 Apr 1856 (Clark Co); d. 15 Sept 1857(Clark Co) James W. NICHOLSON; b. 27 Nov 1830 IN, m. Margaret E.COONS nov 1853, Clark Co, IN; died May 1869, bur. Mt. Zion Cem. Elk Creek, Nemaha Co, NE. Name spelling changed to NICKELSON, sometime- that's the spelling used on his stone, and for the family offspr ng. Most of his offspring settled in Western Kansas, Graham Co. Am looking for his siblings, parents or other leads to locate them. Hoping that little Margaret might help me in the search. Is it possible that she was buried in a family plot in the area? Would be interested inknowing where she is and who she is buri d near. James has been my "Brick wall" in the continuing search for my family history. Have corresponded in the past years with Marylynn Reich, Jeffersonville Volunteer Genealogist. She has been most helpful.

I used to live in Henryville and have brothers and friends buried in this cemetery. I read in the Jeffersonville Evening News Paper (which I have subscribed to through the mail for 35 years) that there would be alist of names available on the internet of the people buried there. I am very interested in this. I live in Louisiana, but still love and miss Indiana. a.
