Julie Ann Clements is my great grandmother. I received most of the information about the Clements family from my aunts. I then found information or census reports that has confirmed the information.The background on Julie Ann Clements:

Place: Orange County, Indiana Place: Orange County, Indiana Burial: Mt. Lebanon Cemetery Burial: Mt. Lebanon Cemetery (The Charnes stones are not in good shape. They were made of sandstone. The wording is being weathered away. My grandfather was a whet stone cutter. When some of the Harris and John Charnes babies died the stones were cut by my aunts family. The girls had carved that names of the babies on the stones but the names have erroded away and the stones are broken.)
The children of Julie Ann and John Samuel Charnes were:
1. William Charnes (1855-1861) He is buried in Hillham Cemetery next to John Charnes' parents: Josiah Asbury Charnes and Susannah Charnes, Josiah's wife and Mary Carrel, who was Susannah's mother.

4. Josiah Harris Charnes (1864-1938)

6. Mary Charnes (1871-?) My aunt remembered attending her funeral but can not remember the date
7. Nathan Asbury Charnes (1873-1950)
Sometime between 1900 to 1920 the Charnes' changed the spelling of their name to Carnes. Some of the tombstones used the Charnes spelling and some had the Carnes.
