Hi,
You don't say if you're Phyllis or Jay but thank you ever so much! This helps
a lot. Is there any chance I can get you to look
at that same directory and tell me what mortuaries were operating at that time in
Portland? I'm gradually chipping away at this
problem thanks to ppl like you.
Shirl

Christine and listers,
Jane Turner Patterson and Samuel Patterson had the following children:
Eliza ......................m J.S. Martin
Robert Irwin
Agnes....................m Elam OSBORN
Electa.....................m E.P. THORNBURG
Charles T...............died at 28 (don't know if he was married or not)
Sarah E..................widow of J.P. EDWARDS
Jennie.....................m John P. WILLIS
Lucinda B...............m Reece COULTER
Could someone check the 1900 and 1910 census in Jay County for any of these
people.
Jane was alive in 1907, living with one of the
kids in Portland but I don't know which kid?
Much thanks in advance,
Shirl in OH

Christine,
Thank you. Would you be talking about the tiny cemetery setting by the
side of
the road at the bend going towards Muncie? I
stopped at that one a few weeks ago on my way to Muncie and noticed
there
were numerous obvious burials with no headstones.
If there was no marker, how did you find this relative's
grave? That's
what I'm looking for - some complete records. Samuel
and Jane both seem to have disappeared into thin air when they died,
even
though they died a number of yrs apart. I know Jane was
living in Portland in 1907, probably with one of her kids. If I get a
list
of the their children, is there someone on the list who
can do a census check for these people?
Also, if I could get a list of the mortuaries in Portland and find
where Jane
was at least 'prepared', that might give me a
clue to both burials. I strongly feel that the govt just doesn't
have a
record of where they sent him. I say this because I can't
find Jane too and feel they must be together. Gut feeling, but I try
to
pay attention to those. If you or anyone else has any
other suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Outside of holding a
seance, I
don't know what to do next! *S* (Wanna come to the
seance???)
Thanks again,
Shirl

There is a small cemetery located in Portland Indiana by the conservation
club.
I don't know how far it dates back or if their are any or few
grave
markers... I
know one relative of mine was burried there and his wife wanted to
move him
with
the rest of the family but it was not possible due to the use of
wooden
boxes
etc. In our case it says both of our realtives are buried at green
park
cemetery in Portland when actually "HE" is at this little cemetery by
the
conservation club. I know there is "No" grave marker at the
little
cemetery for
our rlative. (this realtive died June 8, 1884)
Hope this gives you another lead to check out....
