The URL for this was on one line however when that happens or even a long one
that goes to three lines, just high lite the one, two or three lines at the
same time copy paste and they will all be transported at the same time to
the address bar where you want them. This is the only way I have ever done
two and three line
URL's.

- Cryptic Clues in the Bone Yard
This week I had a chance to do something that I rarely do: watch
television. However, the television show that I watched was a
videotape called "Cryptic Clues in the Bone Yard" with Sharon
DeBartolo Carmack and produced by The Studio of Hurricane, Utah. I
must say that I enjoyed the videotape, and I learned a few things,
too. I have been doing genealogy for years and certainly have
visited my share of cemeteries; however, Sharon Carmack is the
expert, and she certainly increased my knowledge.
The Studio has been very active in recent months, releasing a
bunch of new videotapes for genealogists. I have reviewed several
of them in this newsletter, mostly videotapes demonstrating the
use of various genealogy programs. However, this tape was
different: the television cameras were taken from the studio and
out into the field. Sharon and the television crew were "on site,"
literally showing how to do genealogy research in the field.
Sharon started by describing the different types of cemeteries,
such as churchyard cemeteries, country cemeteries, modern urban
cemeteries, and memorial parks. Then she described the composition
of tombstones over the centuries and the lettering used. She
described effects of acid rain, lichens, and other destructive
elements. Sharon also gave hints on how to determine if the
tombstone is an original or one that was placed on the site many
years after burial. She also described practical hints about
avoiding insects, snakes and briars.
The videotape goes on to describe the artwork used on tombstones,
starting with the flying skulls of Puritan days, followed by
hearts, roses, palm leaves, doves, lambs, handshakes, pillars or
columns, and books. Did you know that there is a difference
between a handshake that shows the sleeves of the two participants
versus a handshake that doesn't show sleeves? I didn't know the
difference until I watched this videotape.
The second half of the videotape was filmed "on location" in a
typical cemetery of genealogy interest. Sharon shows many examples
of tombstone art. She also illustrates how to photograph
tombstones and how to make tombstone rubbings. Keep in mind that
the subject of making tombstone rubbings has become a
controversial topic as improperly made rubbings can slightly
damage a stone. Repeated rubbings by scores of genealogists can
result in serious tombstone damage if not performed properly.
Sharon illustrates the proper method of making rubbings without
damaging the stone in any way.
My favorite line of this videotape came when Sharon Carmack shows
the contents of her "cemetery kit." She urges cemetery searchers
to take along plenty of insect repellant and declares, "If you
don't smell like OFF, you aren't a genealogist!"(A note to
newsletter readers outside the U.S.: OFF is a popular U.S. brand
of insect repellant.)
"Cryptic Clues in the Bone Yard" should be required viewing for
all genealogists. It shows how to get the most out of a cemetery
visit and how to capture information safely. It's modest price of
$14.95 can save you a lot of time and frustration. This is
probably a lot cheaper than a return visit to "do it right the
second time."

There are two cemetaries in southern Ind. and Zachery Taylor in Louisville,
KY where civil war soldiers are buried. If you call Zachery Taylor
502-893-3852, They will be able to tell you if Eckard is buried in any of the
3.
I am searching for the grave of William H. Eckard. He died at Bowling Green during the Civil War,
1862. I believe he is the great-grandfather of Joe Eckard, a friend of mine.
William H. Eckard enlisted as a private in the 50th
Indiana Infantry,co C on 10/25/1861. He died at Bowling Green,Ky on
3/16/1862.That was the only Eckard from Indiana that didnt survive the
war. The 50th organized in Seymour,Indiana.
Thank you,

Proposed Soccer Complex at Oak Hill Cemetery, Vanderburgh County, IN
I need a favor from anyone interested.
There is an online poll about whether a 13 field soccer complex
with a 500 space parking lot, concession area and restrooms
should be built on space not currently used by a city cemetery.
http://www.courierpress.com/articles/sections/pollres/index.shtml
The area comes up to 100 feet from very recent burials in the cemetery.
The 50 acres of land is supposed to return back to the cemetery 20 years
or so from now. (If you belive a politician)
If you can please vote and leave anonymous comments.
The poll is from the Evansville Courier and Press newspaper. They
print the results in the newspaper but not the comments.
Here's three other stories concerning the proposed project:

Here's that city's main reason for doing this:
�Soccer is big business in addition to something our youth can
be proud of and enjoy,� said Mayor Russ Lloyd Jr. �The Red Cross
Tourney had an impact of over $2 million on this community. Soccer
families spend money when they travel. But this isn�t just
economics; it�s a quality of life issue, too.�
The amount of land is large 50 acres, flat, level and the city already owns it.
Oak Hill cemetery was established in 1853. The cemetery is
contains almost 200 acres of land and 68,000 burials.
