Sorry,
For some reason the spacing on my previous post looks like I am still celebrating New
Years here :)
Spacing has gone wacky.

Cindy,
That is what I was babbling about in my previous post, Marble Corner is
entioned in
ennings County newspapers, as is Westport which is in Decatur County and Holton
n Ripley.
n most cases those old newspapers (which is where 100 years ago comes from) had
people from the different areas who reported what was going on in their
eighborhood.
work at the Jennings County Public Library, and we have the newspaper
icrofilm there
racy (who writes 100 years ago) and I, have often tried to figure out where
ome of these
ittle neighborhoods were. Clinton County was just too far away as it is above
ndianapolis.
Back then Townships were very important because the Township Trustee's had a
ot
ore say over people's lives. Even in wills and Legal Documents people tended to
ive
here they lived by listing the name of the Township. If you lived above Sand
reek in
ennings County you might have gone north to Westport and Greensburg rather than
ome
o North Vernon or Vernon to do most of your business because of the lack of
ridges
cross Sand Creek. Travel was so much more difficult back then.

ust my $.02. I live in Columbia twp. and there is an Antioch cemetery on
e way to Greensburg that is is Decatur Co. , perhaps it was named after
at community. I know my great-grandparents lived in Jennings Co., but were
nsidered part of the Marble Corner community even though Marble Corner was
Ripley Co.
