Phyllis, I noticed that you mention having a picture of this couple. Would you be willing
to share that picture? I am researching 3 Root Township, Adams Co., Indiana cemeteries
for the Township Trustee. I am presently working on the Reynolds Cemetery. Elizabeth
Angeline Elzey Heller is buried in this cemetery.
To briefly explain what we are doing: I research records to find as many people as
possible who are buried in these cemeteries. Then I go to the cemeteries and locate, as
best as is possible, the graves. I then draw a plat map showing location of the graves.
This information is then assembled into a book. As money is available the trustee is then
having a large stone erected at each of the 3 township cemeteries, listing the names of
everyone we can find who is buried in the cemetery. This is a wonderful way to
memorialize those buried at these cemeteries and will be a boon to researchers in the
future. You can see an example of my work on the Adams Co. Indiana Rootsweb page

Go to the cemetery section and look under "Monmouth Cemetery"
Fortunately, Elizabeth Angeline Elzey Heller's tombstone is still standing at Reynolds
Cemetery and is in good condition. I was at the cemetery just yesterday and saw it.
What I'm doing, in addition to just locating names and graves, is assembling
newspapers obits, pictures, etc. into a notebook that will then be put in the local
libraries.
If you'd be willing to share the picture of Jacob & Angeline Elzey Heller, I'd
sure appreciate it. If you have a scanner, you could just scan it and email me a copy.
If this isn't possible, I'll be willing to pay for a copy of the picture. You can
email me at blueheron46733(a)yahoo.com. Hoping to hear from you soon.
