Looks like I have a typo in there. Date of death should have been 1885
instead of 1865.
Can't promise when, but I will try to get down there and get some additional
photos, and look at other graves in the cemetery. Hopefully on the same
trip, I can stop at the state museum and check out the census data. Right
now the construction between me and downtown Indy is a mess. I'll have to
figure out the best time and route, but will get down there.

As my maternal ancestors are Custers from IN, I scanned my data files for
Elizabeth Custer as a maiden name and as a married name for the time period
given. Sorry to say I wasn't able to find her in my data. It would be
great if someone in Indy could eyeball the surrounding graves of Elizabeth
and see if there are any other family members nearby. Or perhaps someone
could look at the 1860 IN Federal Census to find her family and share this
info with all of us.
