See this link at Rootsweb regarding Beech Grove Church in Dick Johnson Twp
Clay Co., Indiana.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inclay/church.htm
The reference to the Beech Grove church/school at the above link was on land
donated by Joseph Carter. Joseph was my 3rd great grandfather. The Beech
Grove church / school were near the Rio Grande Rd and one road east of the
Vigo/Clay County line road. The wooded area remains on the Northwest corner
of the intersected roads. The church/school no longer exists. This is not
a town or city, it is literally a grove of Beech trees. The area had coal
mines and farms. It remains a farming area. I believe today it is a rural
route mail delivery area for Brazil.
I double checked the 1900 Census for Sarah Eveland. She is listed in the
1900 census as living in Dick Johnson Twp, Clay Co., IN - page 115B. From
the names on the census pages preceding and following her family, the
location of her residence would have been near the above described area.

There is a Beech Grove in Marion County, Indiana -- not far from the Marion
County - Johnson County Line. It's a part of the Indianapolis metro area.
Go to
www.mapquest.com and type in Beech Grove, Indiana to get a locator
map.
There's evidently a second Beech Grove in Morgan County, between
Martinsville and Mooresville, but it must be much smaller.
