Leisa -
The Bee Ridge Christian Church is in Clay County. Some credit it with
being
the first church in Clay County. Others say it was the first church
in
the
Northern part of Clay County.
William Yocum is credited by many as the man who founded the church in the
1830s.
The older church records of burials were destroyed in a fire. I believe
the
year was 1928. I'm not certain of that, so you'd probably
want to check
with
either the pastor or the trustee for the cemetary.
I believe this is the number: 812 442 0481. If that number is for some
other church, you can always call the Mayor. He'll be happy to give you
the
number.
Mayor Crabb's office at 812-443-2221.
I needed to find out how far their burial records went as well. The
mayor,
the minister for the church, and their trustee were all congenial and
helpful.
The only problem was the records I was interested in had been
destroyed
by
fire.
Check it out, though. I don't remember what the year the fire was - so
they
might have something on your family member.
