Overview of Cemetery
Our thanks to Brenda Horton who supplied many of the photos
for
this site. Please note that due to identity theft, I do not list
preneed stones on site.
The listing below is a combination of several readings that were done.
That is why you will see contradicting numbers in some instances.
Would be happy to hear from those of you who have information on this

Reuben
Hill
Herald Chronicle: La Porte, Indiana, Thursday 9 December
1886
An Entire
Family
Killed
Tuesday afternoon while Reuben Hill, two of his daughters
and two
sons were
attempting to cross the Grand Trunk at Mill Creek,
the limited express going
west struck the wagon between the forward and hind wheels, demolishing
it,
killing Mr. Hill and his sons and
one daughter and injuring the other daughter
so badly that she died about nine p.m. The bodies were dreadfully
mangled.
The
girl that was not instantly killed had the back of her head mashed to a
jelly
and her breast was crushed. When taken up she was unconscious.
The accident is attributed to the fact that
that some freight cars which were standing on the track prevented Mr.
Hill from
seeing the approaching train,
which was the limited express going at the rate
of fifty-five miles an hour. Witnesses of the accident testified before
the
Coroner
that no warning was given by the engineer. Mr. Hill was a widower and
was about fifty-five years of age. One daughter was aged seven
and the other
nine years. The sons were fifteen and seventeen respectively. The party
were on
their way to Walkerton where two
of Mr. Hill’s married daughters reside. Deputy
Coroner Annis was conveyed to the scene by Constable Walker to whom we
are
indebted
for the above facts. The Constable has subpoenaed by telegraph the
conductor, engineer and fireman of the train who are at Battle Creek,
directing
them to report here forth with as witnesses.
