For a year, I have been trying to find the burial locations of a few of my ancestors. I am
at my wits end.....I need some help. Wondering if anyone may have come across any of the
following:
Mary (Helmick) Howell Heistand she passed in Newton Co IN on Jan 14 1901, Dr Tripplet
signed her death cert. however did not note her burial location. Her death cert. shows
Mary Howell, even tho we have a marriage record to a Heistand. I have searched the Newton
Co cemty listing on line to no avail. Her second husband, John Heistand is buried with his
first wife Delila (Dill) in the cemty just north of Morocco.
Marys' first husband, Reason Howell, remarried to a Charlott Galespy in Porter Co. IN
on Dec. 3 1871. I have the marriage lic. A family letter Charlott wrote in early 1872
confirms her marriage to Reason. She signed that letter, Charlott from Kouts Station. She
states in that letter that she has reached an age of 61 or 66 and could no longer make it
without help and has been ill. Reason Howell would have been about 47yrs old at the time
of the marriage, about 20yrs younger than Charlotte. Again, I have been unable to locate a
burial location for either Charlotte or Reason. Nether have I been able to locate
Charlotte or Reason on the census following their marriage.
Does anyone know where Newton Co Pauper burials were? Or how I could get a listing of the
County burials?
Does anyone know where the Porter Co Pauper burials were? Or where I could find a listing
of the County burials???
Thanks in Advance for any tid bit anyone could help me with!
