"who has been after me since 1978 to
get this list published"
Stout and his family have been caretakers of this cemetery
since about 1974. Stout has been compiling information on burials here and
their families since 1979 using the following sources: tombstone readings, 1941
DAR tombstone readings, Dodd Funeral Home Records (Paris Crossing, Indiana),
Jefferson County Health Records (Deaths), Jennings County Health Records
(Deaths), obituaries and gossip columns from various Madison and North Vernon
newspaper files, census records, military records, family records and
interviews. If there is no stone, Stout has indicated source of information.
Stout is seeking more information on these families to add to other information
that he has in his files in order to compile a future publication. He can be
contacted at
Larry Stout, or at 6352 W. 650 S. Rushville, IN 46173
