Lois, I printed out the Bethlehem Twp map just fine, but when I tried
to print out the Washington Twp map, it wouldn't download. My FGS prints

problem on my end, or yours? I haven't the foggiest! I just decided to
mail you a hardcopy of the email I sent you eariler on the Waters and the

I really appreciate the efforts of those restoring the cemeteries of
Clark Co. I visited the Espy cemetery and the restoration enabled me to
see the grave of an ancestor from way back. Its a shame it's being attacked
again by vandals.

Hello, great site! I am currently researching the Campbell's in Clark
Co. circa 1830-1900. I have traced many relatives to a Seedstick cemetary...
I have partial indexes from Hoosier Journal of Ancestry (1992) and a complete
index from the Charlestown T p. library... this site says that Otisco I
and Seedtick is the same place but these indexes do not match??? Thanks...

I think Thompson Chapel cemetery may be in Clark County, because my
ancestor Abraham Hamon, d. 1837, is said to be buried there, and that it
is near Moberly, Indiana. Is Moberly in Clark County? Other possibility
was that it's in Dubois County. Anyone know about that?

I'm trying to locate the graves of my great-great-grandparents, Christian
Wyler (who died 8/18/1937 in NC, but buried in Jeffersonville) and his
wife Maria Anna elizabeth Probst Wyler (who died about six months earlier).
They lived in Jeffersonville Twp. of Clark Co., IN, and were enumerated
at house 8, family 8 in the 1920 census. Christian's mother, Elizabeth
Wyler, who died 1/6/1915, is probably buried adjacent to them. They were
emigrants from Switzerland, and were probably members of a Lutheran or
Reformed church in the Jeffersonville area. Anyone who knows where they
are buried, please contact me. Thanks. Jim in Chicago

Lois, thought your meeting at the Clarksville Library in April was
interesting. Am going to approach a couple of our chapters to see if we
might be able to help and learn the techniques talked about. They might
be more inclined to do so at a site where a known Rev War Patriot is buried,
but still a worth while project. I am more interested in Harrison County
myself as most of my relatives came from there and know of two very bad
cemetaries that are in terrible shape, make that three and a fourth is
pretty good shape however lots of stone in the old part are missing. Keep
up the good work!

I am looking for the resting place of my great grandparents John and
Ann(Jackson) Frothingham. They lived in Clark Co. in 1840. John appears
in the 1850 Mortality Index and I beleive Ann preceeded him in death betwween
1848 and 1850. They were survived by four minor children, a female under
15, three son's Thomas , John and Levi. Levi was living with Dr. W.W. Britton
and family in Washington township in 1860. You are doing a great public
service in listing Clark Co. Cemeteries on the net.
Comments:
It's such a wonderful thing that you are doing. God bless you in your
self-sacrifing effort. May people who has time and money both get behind
you and join it your most worth while effort. I so wish that I lived close.
Even an hour or two trip wouln't be bad on a Sat. But unfornately San Antonio
is just a little too far. But God bless you in your e fort.

Really enjoy your site. Are there any plans to include the St.Joseph
Hill cemetery in Sellersburg, IN and St. John's cemetery in Silver Creek,

I just discovered last night, that an infant girl who died the day of her

any way I could find out more about the parents name? Could you share with
me a place I could inquire to find out about where the parents had lived
etc. Any infomation would be so appreciated. Its such a wonderful thing
you all are involved in. Nancy S. Lloyd

I use to live on 31 E south of Sellersburg, there is a old cemetery
on the Camp Chelan lake property, it is located on the side where the tunnels
of the old quarry are. To find this property you need to walk south from
tunnels toward where they come out, ou will find a small square wall made
of stone. Inside you will find some small gravestones. Last time I was
there was around 1962, I use to fish in the old quarry when the YWCA ran
the Camp. I currently live in Dallas and do miss Clark County (I'm from
C arlestown), you are doing good work.
