Here is a mention from Tartt's History of Gibson County. Narrows it down a
little bit more. The Mounts Cemetery is off of Indiana 65 just north of
Indiana 68 which goes to Haubstadt.
Tartt's says
*Mounts and Knowles are the names of flag stations on the Mt. Vernon branch
of the E. & T. H. railroad in this township. The census of 1880 gave the
township 3,180 population. *
*There is a Knowles buried along CR 1000 S just west of Indiana 65.*
My Knowles connection was Ada Knowles who was second wife to Joseph J.
Davis.

Helen,Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much activity on
this list.
I corresponded with you on the Crabtree/Saulmon family several years ago.
Off hand, I can't tell you exactly where Knowles Station is, but since I
have approximately 68 Knowles names in my database, I should be able to
refer you to sombody who does know. It's probably on the old Big 4
railroad line that enters Gibson Co at Mt Carmel and passes through
Johnson. There are several Knowles properties that lie along that
railroad, either currently or in the past. There are 2 Knowles cemeteries
between Owensvile and Cynthiana. I would first contact Dan Elliott, the
Gibson/Posey Genweb co-ordinator. He photographed every tombstone in
Gibson Co., so is pretty familiar with that area. His email is
delliott.gibson.ingenweb(a)gmail.com. If he can't help you, I have some
contacts named Knowles that I can check with.I'm always glad to help with
anything Gibson Co.Gerald L (Jerry) Spore

Subject: [INGIBSON] knowles station
I am working on my Crabtree line from Posey/Gibson CO, and have an
ancestor, Elizabeth A. Crabtree md to Hiram Knowles (he was her second
husband). In the old news articles I have been reading, Knowles Station
is mentioned. I used to live east of Cynthiana, on the Posey/Gibson
line, and was wondering if anyone knew where Knowles Station was.
