Karen,
It looks like you have the hardest part done already by knowing the
date they were married.
If you go to this site (if you haven't already) the page no. is # 375

All you need o do is send them about $ 2.00 and wait about a week.

When I search www.CrownHill.org use the advance search and try and put
together who all is buried in the same plot. It helps. If they are at C.H.
you can request a death record which shows what they died of and who signed
it and doctors name and date.. Bob
I am a new researcher for Marion County. You mention a genealogy site - is
it the cemetery's??
What other resources are available for Marion County online?
I am one of the lucky ones researching Smith. Any advice?

I don't have anything to add to the land patents, but I do have a question.
Several moths ago the topic was about some headstones that were found in the
waters of the White River. Some kind lady wrote in to speculate that it
might be from the SMITH family plot, which had disappeared.
I am at my wits end trying to find anything about my GG Grandfather, Edward
SMITH.
Does anyone know if there was any kind of ledger of who was buried there?
The SMITH branches are obviously extensive, I know the odds of my GGG being
buried there is very slim.
But-----one never knows, unless they ask. I know he died in 1885-6 based on
his wife's 1931 Marion County obit, but I know nothing about when, where he
was born, or buried. The following is from the Marion County library.
Saint John's was their home parish:
<<<<We also checked parish records of St. John's Catholic Church, on
microfilm as filmed by LDS and find an Edward Smith death on June 1, 1885 at

Indianapolis Catholic Cemeteries we find no mention of an Edward Smith.
>>>>>
Would it have been possible in those days for a gentleman to have a first
and middle name and be called by the middle name?
If anyone has access to the newspapers of late May /early June 1885,
Indianapolis, to see if there is an obit, or an accident, I would appreciate
a look/see. Family lore has it he was called Captain Edward SMITH. We
don't know what career gave him that title, or if it is even true. Perhaps
he died far away and is buried where he died. Woe is me !!

100-plus bronze vases stolen from cemetery
By Vic Ryckaert
vic.ryckaert(a)indystar.com
November 16, 2007
Police are investigating the thefts of more than 100 flower vases from grave
sites at a Westside cemetery.
Floral Park Cemetery is the latest target for thieves who have been raiding
construction sites and air-conditioning units for copper tubing, wire and
metal siding, Indianapolis metropolitan police said Thursday. Bronze vases
were taken from at least 102 grave sites and mausoleums in the 110-acre
cemetery at 3659 Cossell Road from Nov. 5 to Sunday.
"We lock the gates every night, but they don't stop thieves," Floral Park
manager Cinnamon Caughlan said. "Hopefully, they'll be haunted by the people
they stole these from."
Caughlan said the pots weigh about 5 pounds each and cost about $240 to
replace. Police have asked area scrap dealers to look for anyone trying to
sell the vases, which a local dealer said could fetch about $6 each.
In hope of deterring future thefts, Caughlan said, the cemetery intends to
replace the bronze vases with less valuable versions made of aluminum.
"We don't want to put bronze back out," she said. "It's just giving them
another reason to come back."
Rising prices for scrap metal have made this kind of thievery a huge
problem. In July, copper thieves knocked out the Gleaners Food Bank of
Indiana freezer, causing thousands of pounds of food to go bad.
An AT&T official told state lawmakers earlier this year that thieves are
known to climb poles to rip down copper cable. In March, thieves stole
copper downspouts and tubing from seven air-conditioning units at Our Lady
of Lourdes Catholic Church on Indianapolis' Eastside.
I am hoping to find someone to do a obituary look up
for me, if at all possible.
The person in question is: Ella McNamara. Obit in the
Indianapolis Cimmercial Newspaper on 17 September
1936, age 62. I got this information from the Indiana
State Library.
I am hoping to find out more about her.
Thank you so much for helping me out!

Thanks for checking, Bob. A will would sure be a great way to find
information. He died before 1838 -- in a wilderness area. Is there a
possibility that a will was even filed in Indianapolis or maybe in Clinton
County, Ohio, where they were before coming to Indiana? Does anyone know
where I would write to inquire about it? (I'm in California.)
BTW, Bob, good luck with your Smiths. I have several of those too.
Thanks,
Jeanne

How I wish I could list his family.
I know nothing about him. I cannot find a wedding entry for him and my
GGGmother, Bridget BREEN. The only other SMITH name I have, is a
sponsor/Godparent written on a baptismal certificate from St. John's in
Indianapolis. This was Eleanor SMITH. I don't know who she is in the
family scheme.
>From what I can deduce, Bridget came here (USA) in 1880. (Her obit indicates
1876). I do not know if they were married then, or married after she got
here. The certificate is the first paper trail to show they lived in
Indianapolis. They had a daughter, Anna Francis SMITH (yes, with an "i")
born and baptized June 23, 1883, and a son, John Edward SMITH, born March,
1885. Edward died shortly sometime after John was conceived or born. The
obit reads:<<< Her first husband, Edward SMITH died 46 years ago.>>> This
quote from the obit was dated 9-19-1931.
Holy Cross has no entry for him at all, in any of the cemeteries they
oversee. I have called them directly.
Thank you for your interest.
Cece
Cece, if he is at the Holy Cross cemeteries, he could be buried in a family
plot. If you could list his family it may help in locating the right SMITH.
They also list the burials by who bought the plot. Bob

Dear Jeanne You can go to the DAR website and see if he was in the
Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
If you find him there you need to contact your local DAR chapter and they
will help you become a member.
I just finished my papers last year and am extremely proud to be involved
with the group and my heritage.

If you would like to know exactly where your kin held original title to the
land in Marion County, I will search for you. Need name
and coordinates as shown with the Gov't Land Office records.

Please reply through this list so we can share findings with others. It has
been so dead lately want to get some kind of ball rolling.
An old friend passed away recently that started this project, and with his
records I can zero in on the coordinates using modern day streets.
Many early settlers bought land here, but never saw it, as it was purchased
on speculation, or for family members. Some never made payments so it was
forfeited.
My Tobias Smith owned most of the land around Brightwood, 1822, for
example which explains why Messersmith's later got it, through marriage.
Tobias lived in Connersville and never set foot on the land in Indy. I have
always been interested in early land holdings. Bob
