Is there a George or Martha Hopper listed as being buried in Greene County?
Township unknown. Probable dates are between 1840-1850. Thanks for any help.

Amelia and James Faucett are buried together in the Stropes Cemetery in
Richland Township, Section 31, Greene County.
Amelia Faucett
11 Dec 1818 - 13 Apr 1888
James Faucett
11 May 1814 - 13 Apr 1880
There are only 16 graves listed as being in this cemetery. The book
Cemeteries of Eastern Greene County Indiana says the following about the
cemetery:
"To reach the Stropes Cemetery turn left one-half mile west of Mineral,
cross Plummer Creek and immediately turn right on a county road beside the
creek. Travel one mile and it is located off the north side of the road in
a field.
At one time there may have been as many as 40 graves in this early burial
ground. When listed in 1940 by the WPA, there were 14 legible grave
markers plus numerous fieldstones without names or dates. In 1981 a very
old fence and a few markers remain in an open unfenced hayfield."
I hope this helps.

COL. ISRAEL STOUGH, a native of York County, Penn., was born January 28,
1829, a son of Charles and Catharine (Lauck) Stough, both of whom were
born in York County, Penn., the former January 4, 1800, and the latter
November 15, 1815. Charles Stough followed the carpener's trade for
about fifty-four years; and was married in his native county in August
1828, and there his wife died May 17, 1870. He is now living in Greene
County, Ind., at the advanced age of eighty-four years. Israel Stough
at the age of fourteen years, began serving an apprenticeship at the
tailor's trade in his native county, and when nineteen, he started out
as a journeyman tailor. For two years he was engaged in business for
himself at Brookville, Ind., but in 1852, went to Bueyrus, Ohio, where
for a short time he worked at his trade, afterward disposing of his
stock and operating a photograph gallery, both in Bueyrus and Gallion,
Ohio. Having accumulated some means he sold out at the end of a year,
and feeling the need of a better educaton entered Wittenburgh College at
Springfield, Ohio, where he remained two years. In 1856 and 1857, he
was employed as traveling salesman for Hykes & Co., horticulturials of
Dayton, Ohio, his location being in Mississippi. He afterward traveled
in a like business through Virginia, for a Rochester, N.Y., company, and
through Kentucky for Hooker, Farley & Co. Succeeding this, he was
engaged in farming near Springfield, Ohio, until he helped recruit
Company F. of the Forty-fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, of which he was
selected Captain. He served in this capacity until September 23, 1863,
when he was discharged for disability arising from the effects of
typhoid fever. May 11, 1864, he was commissioned Colonel of the One
Hundred and Fifty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and for a time was
stationed at Paw Paw, W. Va. Col. Stough was a participant in the
engagements of Laurel Point, on the South Branch of the Potomac,
Hancock, Md., and Old Town. He was mustered out of the service Camp
Douglass, Ohio, September 9, 1864, and the same year located in Gibson
County, Ind., where he followed agricultural pursuits two years. He
then moved to Patoka, where he worked as a millwright and at engineering
until his removal to Owensburg, Greene County, in 1870, where for three
years he was engaged in milling. He then went to Bloomfield and erected
the steam mills at that place, which he operated until 1879, when he
sold out and leased the mills at Lyons. In 1881, he purchased his
present place, where he has since resided. Col. Stough is a Republican
in politics, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and F. & A.M.,
and K.of P. fraternities. He was married in Brookville, Ind., June 3,
1851, to Mary C. Campbell, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, November
19, 1832. Mrs. Stough's parents were John and Mary (Kemble) Campbell,
the former born June 17,1790, died October 13, 1863; the latter born in
1805, and died May 27, 1854. Col. Stough and wife are parents of this
family: Charles P., Ida K., Allie M., Nettle L., and David L., living,
and Anna E., Dora C., Cora F., John F., and Jennie B., deceased.

I would like to announce that a stone that bears the name Sarah A. was found in the Pegg Cemetery, FairPlay Twp. Greene Co. IN. I had been told by my grandmother that Sarah Ann SCOTT PEGG was buried in the Pegg Cemetery but had been unable to find a stone until a visit in June, 2001. The stone was lying next to John A. Pegg her son. It is a broken sandstone that bears only the name Sarah A. I'm still unable to find the stone of Dr. John Austin Pegg, Sarah's husband.

THOMAS BOGARD, Trustee of Center Township and a descendant from one of
the first families to settle in what is now Greene County, was born in
the county, where he yet resides, in the year 1823, and is one of two
surviving children in a family of seven born to Cornelius and Jane
(Benham) Bogard, who were natives of Ohio and Virginia respectively.
His early years were passed in assisting his parents on the home farm,
but on attaining his twenty-second year commenced farming for himself,
which has since been his occupation. By industry he has secured a good
farm of 200 acres, and also sixteen town lots in the village of
Hobbieville, upon one having erected one of the finest dwellings in the
township. Mr. Bogard was married to Miss Mary O'Neal, his first wife,
in 1845, and one son --William-- of four children born to them, is yet
living. He married Miss Lucinda James, his present wife, in 1862. Mr.
Bogard is, as was his father before him, a Democrat in politics; is a
member of the F. & A. M., and both he and wife belong to the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Hope this hels.

All researchers of Greene need to know there is the
l884 History of Greene county and then there is a
set of biographical sketches in (I think) three volumes.
I have used the set but don't own one. They are in
the rare category now, but are in libraries.
I would like a copy of anything on Bogards from the book History of Greene
& Sullivan Counties (1884 I think). It was mentioned in the book History
of Greene Co. Thanks to anyone who may be able to help.

Census Taker
It was the first day of census, and all through the land;
The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand.
He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride;
His book and some quills were tucked close by his side.
A long winding ride down a road barely there;
Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting up through the air.
The woman was tired, with lines on her face;
And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place.
She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table;
And she answered his questions ... the best she was able.
He asked of her children ... Yes, she had quite a few;
The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two.
She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red;
his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed.
She noted each person who lived there with pride;
And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside.
He noted the sex, the color, the age ...
The marks from the quill soon filled up the page.
At the number of children, she nodded her head;
And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead.
The places of birth she "never forgot";
Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not?
They came from Scotland, of that she was clear;
But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here.
They spoke of employment, of schooling and such;
They could read some and write some ... though really not much.
When the questions were answered, his job there was done;
So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun.
We can imagine his voice loud and clear;
"May God Bless you all for another ten years."
Now picture a time warp ... it's now you and me;
As we search for the people on our family tree.
We squint at the census and scroll down so slow;
As we search for that entry from long, long ago.
Could they only imagine on that long ago day;
That the entries they made would effect us this way?
If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel;
And the searching that makes them so increasingly real.
We can hear if we listen the words they impart;
Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart.
