Hi Listers.
Received some valuable informatin from Fern Eddy Schultz, the LaPorte County
Historian. She helped me locate some graves and I thought to share, others
may be in my same boat.
She said there was an old cemetery on the west edge of La Porte, called the
Old City Cemetery. It was closed for the most part in the 1870's, when both
Pine Lake and Patton Cemetery had been established. In a newspaper article
dated 23 March 1893, a list of names were published of those buried in the
Old City Cemetery. It offered relatives a chance to relocate their deceased
loved ones to the cemetery of their choice. Those that weren't claimed were
moved in 1893 and are now buried in a mass grave in the Pine Lake Cemetery,
alas my gggg Grandmother Experience Goodell Oaks was one!

I have no dates or other information on these people, only that they were
moved to Pine Lake Cemetery. If anyone is familiar with either the Low or
Baker or Oaks surnames, please let me know for info exchange.
Good Luck,
