Thanks Walt, that's good information and I'll be sharing it with cousins.

Subject: [INOHIO] Cemetery Records
New comers need to know that they should be very careful using the
current Cemetery Records for Ohio Co., Indiana. After finding
several errors, we recently traveled to Ohio Co. and photographed
all stones that we knew pertained to our family at that time. In
Mt. Carmel Cemetery, out of 20 individuals there where 14 errors in
transcribing. The little Conner Cemetery up the road has 1 error in
three stones. The first two stones we examined in Rising Sun
Cemetery each had an error in the transcribing of the stones. The
first one was a 5 year error in date of birth, in the second, the
name was misspelled!
Thanks,
Walt Conner
