Shirl,
The cemetery at Conversation Club in Portland IN is called (Wentz Cem). and
about 1 1/2 mile to the north of that there looks to be a (Bost or it may be
Bosl Cem) I didn't know it was there-- my mom found this on her county map.
Down by Bluff Point there are two more cemeteries listed ( Zoar Cem and Kunce
Cem)
I don't live in Portland any more... I'm approx. 2 hours away. So I don't
know
who could look up the information you are asking for. I would surf the net and
see if any one does look ups in that area.
Sorry I can't help you with that... However I will keep my eyes open if I run
across any information that looks like it might be your missing kin
