Passing this request along. Any infor appreciated.
My great-great grandparents were Thomas Courter b. 16 May 1834
Shelbyville
County, Indiana d. 9 Mar 1889 Greene County, Indiana. His father was
William
Courter b. in Kentucky and mother: Nancy Emmitt, born in Kentucky.
Thomas Courter's wife was Mary Jane Wilson b. Feb 22, 1840 in
Springville,
Lawrence County, Indiana, d. 3 March 1890 in Greene County. Her father
was
George Dillard Wilson b. 15 March 1814 in Greensburg, Decatur, IN d.
Sept.
12, 1890, buried Lowder Cemetery. Anyone recognize the cemetery?
Mary Jane's mother was Gula Elma Davis b. March 5, 1821 Greensburg,
Decatur,
IN d. Feb 12, 1894. buried Lowder Cemetery.
As a child in the 40s, I remember going with my grandmother to decorate
the
family graves on "Decoration Day." Thomas and Mary Jane Courter had one
of
those 2-3 inch wide, tall monument markers at that time in the old
Island
City Cemetery. We called it Booker or Burger because it was near where
the
"Booker or Burger" family lived. Their nice two story house may be
fallen in
by now. The last time I saw it in the 90s the termites had eaten much of
it
up.
Now, my questions: Those Courter tombstones are no longer there. Does
anyone
have a record of that cemetery? What can I do to have their graves
recorded?
Is anyone else researching this family?
