Does anyone know of a cemetery in Clay City, Indiana named Greenwell Cemetery? I am
working on a man in my Johnson line. In his obit and his wife's obit they are both
listed as burial at Greenwell Cemetery.
In John E. Johnson's obituary from the Clay County Enterprise Newspaper, Oct. 12,
1910, it says this:
" The remains were taken to Clay City and interred in the Greenwell Cemetery."
John E. & Michey Johnson lived in Saline City, Clay County. She died June 12,1924 in
Saline City. John E.'s notice in the Brazil Daily Times, Friday, Oct. 7, 1910 states
this: The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at the U. B. Church at Saline City with
interment at Old Greenwell Cemetery.
Also, when I looked at the Clay County Census for years prior to their deaths, in most
they lived in Saline City, Sugar Ridge Twp., Clay County, Indiana.
The death records I received today show their residences as Jackson Twp, Clay County. The
obituaries state they died in Saline City. Is Saline City in Jackson Twp or Sugar Ridge
Twp.?
Thank you for any help with these questions.
