Thank you for returning the information about my father.
I have been working on a family tree since I retired in 2000 and would invite you to check it out if you like.
It's on Ancestry ("Cullison FT-by Irvin V. Cullison").
Since we did not have any contact with my father, I guess I am looking for someone who did, and who knew him and would share the info.
My email address is IVCULLISON(a)sbcglobal.net if you care to respond.
Thanks again, Irvin Cullison

The info I am seeking is a personal thing, since my mother and father were divorced when I was about two years old, and I never knew my father. I would like to find out more info from someone who did.

Hey Sherri,
Mind if I jump in on this nice piece of history. It would have been nice if this was still standing.
I'm headed to Bloomfield once the weather turns for the better. I need to to get a few pictures. The Templetons headstones are on my list for another descendant that I've been talking with. He claims to have pics of Loretta and WW Templeton(Honest Abe look alike, I hear). He also said that a cousin of his still has WW's Civil War sword. That would be a nice family relic to show off!
Could you email me your number. I need to consult with the guru on a few things but I've misplaced your number.
Thanks - Matt Burrell

20 March 1907 24 February 1974 WWII buried at Walnut Grove Cemetery in Richland Township south of Park. I am a 3rd cousin my great grandmother was Mary Frances Cullison born 1873 in Park and also buried at Walnut Grove. Her Parents were Jacob Cullison 1837-1881, and Mary Fearnot 1840-1913. Jacob descends from James Cullison 1814-1819 and Matilda Miller 1815-1904. One of James son was Joseph 1847-1933 and his son is Howard 1882-1950. I believe all these are buried at Walnut Grove also.

Virginia Vivian Fields, daughter of Ben and Clona Fields, was born June 1, 1919, and departed this life May 9, 1933, aged thirteen years, eleven months and eight days.
She leaves to mourn their loss, father, mother and one sister, June; two grandfathers and two grandmothers, and a host of friends and relatives. She was a graduate of the common school, and would have received her diploma in June.
She was very popular among her friends and loved by all who knew her.
Our hearts are grieved at her going, yet we realize our loss is her gain.
"Not lost, not dead, not gone, not even sleeping, tho we have laid them in the grave with weeping; no sharp despair our chastened hearts can fill, for they are with us still. Brighter, fairer far than living, with no trace of woe or pain, robed in everlasting beauty, shall I see thee
once again."
The funeral services were held last Thursday at the Owensburg Christian church with Rev. L. H. Hatfield officiating. Interment in the Owensburg Cemetery. (Bloomfield, Indiana, May 18, 1933 newspaper (The Bloomfield News?). "Death's Harvest - Fields."

Hi Thank you for responding.
I was at the courthouse in the Clerk's Office today. They told me the old records were in the basement and that some one in the Clerk's office needed to go down and hunt for them. But no one did. Wish I would have run into you. They printed out 2 marriage applications for me that they did themselves. I was not asked to go somewhere and look at micro-fiche. Maybe I'll print your post and take it with me when I go back. I live in Parke Co. but plan on making a trip back to Bloomfield again soon. I went to the Health Dept. in the old jail. Nice town Bloomfield is.
Thanks again, Carla

Carla: The marriages and common pleas and court records are in the clerk's office. The clerk shows you a room where you sit down and look at the indexes to view the records on micro-fiche. The birth and death records are located in the old jail on E. Spring St. The library and historical society has books on some of these indexes. You can buy a copy of a particular record at the courthouse for $1 a page, but be sure to find the book and page number in the index before you ask the clerk. When was your last visit? Our courthouse has been renovated, might be it was a total wreck when you were here before. Even I didn't do any research there during that time. Marriages, birth and death indexes are on line through local library.

Bloomington News Letter, Monday October 21, 1854:
GREENE CIRCUIT COURT -- Last Monday at the Greene Circuit Court, James Bays
was convicted and sentenced to two years imprisonment in the State Prison,
for an assault and battery with intent to murder Warren Bland, a brother of
Hiram Bland, who was hung in Greene county a few years ago. The occurrence took
place in March, l852. Bays struck Bland with an axe and broke his skull,
several pieces of which came out, and are now in Bland's possession. Strange
to say, that with genuine Greene county tenacity of life, "he lived and done
well."
The criminal docket opened rich on the first day of the term with three
convictions. Jas. Bland, another brother of Hiram's is to be tried this week
for an assault and battery with intent to murder. Seven cases for the same
offence stand on the docket.
There are also thirteen applications by loving husbands and wives, to
dissolve the silken ties of matrimony.

There is also mention of a business venture gone bankrupt on pg 60
"In 1875,Clark, Buell, Donahay & Co., projected the Bloomfield Rail-
road, which ,was to extend from Bloomfield westward to the Wabash
River, and at the same time projected a continuation of the road from
Bloomtield through to Bedford, the latter being known as t.he Bedford,
Springville, Owensburg & Bloomfield Railroad. During the fall or
winter of 1875, this company transferred all their contracts to Conley,
Mason & Co., who undertook to complete both branches of the road.
The portion from Bloomfield to Switz was finished by the 1st of October,
1875, and cost about $29,000; and the portion from Bloomfield to Bedford
was completed by the 4th of July, 1876, and cost about $120,006.
About all the means to build the grade was furnished by donations, subscriptions,
taxes, etc. The compao.y which had undertaken to complete
the road was unable to do so, although large amounts of real estate had
been pledged. It was found necessary to enter into debt to secure the
equipment of the road with iron and rolling stock, the rolling mill company
'of Indianapolis becoming the creditors. Various bonds, etc.,
were turned over to the mill company to secure them, besides mortgages
on the property. As none of this could be satisfied when due, the mill
company took full control when the road was finished; and when Conley,
Mason & Co., went into bankruptcy, the mill company bought the
absolute right in the road at bankrupt sale. This was about the course
of events."

Message Board Post:
Bob -- Thanks so much for the quick response and the jewel of a photo!
You are exactly right about Cate. I was writing during a quick break at work and trying to remember things off the top of my head. Catherine was the daughter of Carpus Shaw and Sarah Van Slyke -- the two having been among the first white settlers to Greene County in 1818. Sarah was the daughter of Peter Cornelius Van Slyke, whose family line comes from the Syracuse, NY, area beginning in the very early 1600s, and goes back to a Mohawk line. They were connected with the Methodist church there in Bloomfield. Cornelius was one of Bloomfield's early benefactors and donated the land on which the courthouse is built. Many of the family are buried in a small family plot behind an old 3-story red brick factory (I think it is called the glove factory there in town) very near the town square.
Hattie(nickname for Harriet), not Lottie, was Jason and Cate's daughter, and married my great-grandfather, Richard Thompson Burrell. He later became deputy secretary of state for Indiana and moved the family to Indianapolis. All of his children bore the name Conley, either as a first or middle name. My grandfather was Frank Conley Burrell and my father was James Frank Burrell.
I am trying to find out more about Jason's time in Albuquerque. I think, but am not positive, he may have established this second family in west Texas on his way to NM, although I am not positive. He was pretty elusive during that time. I have talked to the folks at the Albuquerque Historical Society and the drug store out of which he practiced medicine was Kent's Drug Store, and apparently the building is still standing.
How are you connected to Jason? Thanks so much for sharing your info!

The home which Dr. Jason N. CONLEY, MD built was located on the northwest corner of North Franklin Street and West Indiana Avenue in Bloomfield, Indiana in about 1865. It was sold after the death of Mrs. CONLEY to the MOYER family and two of the daughters remained there until the last one died in about 1967. I remember the home well as my grandmother lived 1 block south on Franklin Street. The house had a carriage house facing Franklin Street which the floor had fallen through and the old buggys were laying in the lower level where the horses used to be kept. The home was torn down in favor of a low income housing project in about 1968.
