Have you checked to see if he might have gone to live with one of his
children in another state or another family member.. This happened to me in
finding my great-grandmother. Her name is on a stone at Oak Hill but she was
not buried there. Found her with a brother in Mo.

Subject: [INBOONE-L] Re: Jesse SHEETS in Boone County
Folks:
I'm still looking to break through a long-standing brick wall: finding the
death date and place of my grandfather, Jesse SHEETS. He was born 5 April
1876 in Zionsville, married 8 March 1915 Carrie SHAW (b. 19 December 1877;
d. 22 August 1929 at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Marion County).
He
also married abt. 1899 Leona LAYTON (b. July 1883, Indiana).
The 1910 Boone County, Indiana Census enumerates Jesse in the house of his
mother Nancy. It lists his occupation as "none".
The 1920 Boone County, Indiana Census enumerates him in the household of
Edward Caldwell and lists his given name as "Jessie", his relation as
"boarder", and his occupation as "laborer".
I can't find him the 1930 Census, and believe he must have died before its
enumeration.
Sullivan Museum has a little info on this family, and I have conflicting
info that says he was--and wasn't--buried in SHEETS Cemetery.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
