He had relatives in Parke County and I have thought of writing to them.
Years ago, I was in Terre Haute and Brazil and got lots of info from the
Terre Haute Library which I was able to tie into much later with their
marriage records in Putman Co. I have since written to the Library but they
had nothing further.
Again, Thank you so much for your response.

Opal,
In my limited experience, cemetery records may be incomplete in the early
1900's. If the sexton doesn't have time to search records, you could hire
someone to look at his records. You may find what you want.
I'm a trustee of a cemetery in Parke County where we have many, many more
unlisted burials than tombstones up through about 1927. There was that flu
epidemic in the years prior to 1920.

I am nosing in. Interested in your comment. I am trying to find interment
records in Clay Co., Indiana and no luck. Surely interment records were
kept in late 1890's or early 1900's I get no help from any one there.
