Cheri:
As a former resident of the Castleton area, I recall the
Blackburn Family there.
Many of the Castleton residents were buried at Union Chapel Cemetery in
Washington Twp. Oaklawn Cemetery (just north of 96th St on Allisonville
Rd) was not established as a cemetery until about the 1960's (guesstimate).
Union Chapel does not have a listing on the "net". If you would like, I
could make a call and try to find out if the Blackburns are buried there
and let you know.
My second guess would be the Highland-Beaver Cemetery, just east of Fishers,
Hamiliton Co, IN. I will check there if I don't find them at Union Chapel.

Subject: [MARION COUNTY, IN] Blackburn around Castleton 1930's, 1960's
I have two loose end Blackburns and so far I can't figure out
where they
are
buried.
1) Jesse William Blackburn & his wife Flossie J. (Kesselring). They had
no
children. But I don't want to leave them out of my book, either!
He was
born
in 1880 in Hamilton Co and she was born 1888 in Boone Co (both IN).
I
found
him in a city directory in 1958. His address was 6706 E. 82nd,
Castleton,
IN.
He would have been about 78 years old. I ran the address through
Google
and
it gave me the street, but said it was in Indy, and it was a
Starbuck's.
I
ran cemeteries around that address. I called Oaklawn, Union Chapel,
and
Crown
Hill. Neither Jesse or his wife was there. Since Jesse had siblings
in
Fishers, I ran cemeteries around there. Hamilton Memorial Park is only 8
years
old
and I got no answer at Crownland. The guy at Hamilton told me to
call
Crownland before 12 noon. So I will do that tomorrow.
2) Grover C. Blackburn (Jesse's brother), was born in 1886 in Fishers. He
married and divorced and had no children. The only info I can get is from
his
86 year old niece who had a stroke last year. She said he died in a
special
home next to the V.A. Hospital from some illness. She thought he
died
after
WWII. I think he died sometime between the 1930 census and 1946
(brother
Charles
died in 1946 and Grover is not mentioned in the obit). Again,
he's not in
any of those cemeteries above.
Does anyone have any idea of where to look for these people?
Thanks,
