Thanks, John, for the information on Sharon and the Greenlawn Cemetery
records. My cousin Jenny and I are trying to figure out WHY ths cemetery
was chosen as the burial spot for our great-grandfather since he was living
in Peru when he died and Mount Hope Cemetery would seem to be a more
"logical" choice.
Although in this day and age we seem to have gotten away from the
traditional "family plot" in a cemetery, I know that in the "old days"
when
someone died, a number of graves were purchased at one time for future
burials. I have recently been reviewing some of the old "Denver Tribune"
newspapers on microfilm and am amazed at the number of people who died
outside Miami County and the bodies were sent "back home" (by train) to be
buried in the family plots.
