Your response was much appreciated and I want to thank you for going to the
trouble of looking that up for me. Someone else said they would see what
they could see, too, and I am awaiting their return to me. Your advice is
very good about checking with the hist. so. and I am delighted to learn that
there is such a book of cemetery records.
You have been most helpful. I have a little hope, again.

>Karen -
I just got back from a trip to Plymouth. The Marshall County Historical
Society has a wonderful genealogy collection and staffers who can help (for
a fee of course when done via phone or mail). While researching there, I
found a book called "Marshall County, Indiana Cemeteries" compiled by
Wendell C. and Jean C. Tombaugh in 1985. They also have some records for
individual cemeteries. So I would recommend checking with the Historical
Society. Its address is 123 N. Michigan St., Plymouth, IN 46563. The
museum phone number is 936-2306 (I don't have the area code handy). Hope
this helps.
