I think there is a listing of the cemetery. You might contact Nancy
masten at the Miami County Museum [email at archivistmchs(a)skyenet.net].
Nancy is very helpful, but has many queries so give her time to look. I
think she has a listing for that cemetery in Butler Twp.

Hi Everyone!
My great grandfather, John W. Poor and his wife Elizebeth Ann (Libby)
Parr
were pioneers and among the first white settlers in central Indiana.
They
were both buried in the Methodist Church Cemetery at Peoria, IN.
This
Church
and Cemetery was moved in the 1950's to a higher location and a dam
was
built
across the Mississinawa River to form the existing Mississinawa
Reservoir
which flooded the original site. This lake also covers the original
Indian
burial ground where Francis Slocum was buried with her Indian husband
and
children. A monument was erected on higher ground to mark this
historical
spot.
Does anyone know if there is a listing of the graves in this cemetery?
I
know
many of my other ancestors are buried there.
Best Regards
Roy Eastes
