I did a search for Rachael Martin Axsom the story was..Rachael was forbidden to marry
Martin Axsom (Unknown Reason) but she married him anyway they lived in Brown County,
Indiana at the time she became sick she was staying with her side of the family and she
died (Lawrence County, Indiana) They kept the burial information secret from In-laws even
from Martin Axsom her husband he was not allowed at her funeral either and to this day it
is not known Where she is buried .. I do not know how much of this story is true BUT I
went to get her death certificate today after some searching I found it in Lawrence County
(1904) and it did not answer ANY questions I had, the information was not given burial
Funeral Home they did mention she was married but did not give the spouses name So maybe
some of this tale holds some truths Is there anyone who May have also heard this story
