BROWN FAMILY CEMETERY
Has anyone out there came across relatives buried in this cemetery? It
is on the MonroeTwp-Madison Twp (Allen Co.) border, I think by the corner
of Whittern & Hoagland Rds on the corner of a plat owned by Albert
Dawson. (Contact Mr. Dawson before visiting -- he's been known to deter
trespassers with a rifle.)
The heads of this family were Henry Brown & Mary Hoffman who were from
Somerset Co., Pennsylvania. They are my 3rd-Great Grandparents. It
appears that burials there were not limited to Brown family members.
This cemetery is very old, has at least one Civl War Vet, and is in great
disrepair.
I know there are laws on the Indiana books forcing the township trustee
to allocate funds for the renovation and care of such abandoned
cemeteries. Does anybody have political connections in Monroeville?
(The trustee there is Max Meyer.)
I would be interested in contact with others who have relatives in this
cemetery.
