I visited that cemetery in 1999. My pictures show an intersection of
Hendrix St. and Elm with a green road sign, reasonably large, saying "Rest
Lawn Cemetery" with a straight ahead arrow, which would be pointing straight
ahead on Elm St.. There is a gray mobile home/manufactured home sitting
directly behind the sign (at least it was that color in 1999). My next
picture shows a Dead End road sign with an gated entrance to the cemetery
street sign that says Father A. Spicuzza Drive. I don't think it was a long
distance from the intersection of Hendrix and Elm. I can remember going
there as a child on "Decoration Day" but I don't remember it as being as
large or nicely maintained as it is now. Maybe I just don't remember! I
know when I needed to find it I had trouble at first because I didn't know
the name had changed.
It is in a really out of the way location. If you visit during the week and
get lost, go to the Mayor's office on U.S. 40, and they can radio the
cemetery caretaker to meet you (at least that has been available to us twice
when we have gone to two different cemeteries there). If you visit on
Saturday, the Brazil Public Library could probably show you a map. The
mayor's office has free maps of the city, or used to. The cemetery
caretaker had some very limited records and maps of the cemetery. A lot of
the records are gone, I think.

Could someone tell me how to find this cemetery? The name has changed from
Catholic to restlawn if I understand this correctly. It supposed to be
near Brazil Indiana but haven't had any luck locating it.
