Subject: [INORANGE] Cemeteries
I am looking for cemeteries in Dubois and Orange County Indiana. I
had
many relatives that migrated that way from Knox County Kentucky. My goal is
to find as many as I can and photograph them this coming weekend. What
that means for me is to photograph each individual tombstone. You can find
the ones I have already done by visiting Tombstone Central. My problem. I
don't know where they are located.
Can anyone help with some directions? I met a really awesome man the last
time I was in the area who was restoring old cemeteries and he gave me
directions to many that I went to at the time, but never kept the
directions. I have learned better.
I know this is kind of a vague question, but if anyone can give me
directions to any of the cemeteries in either of these two counties I
would be forever grateful.
Please e-mail me at foe3643(a)tombstonezero.net
I'm leaving on Thursday and have until Sunday to do as many as possible.
I know that I want to go to the following cemeteries as I took photographs
there the last time I went, but was such a newbie I didn't think of taking
all the tombstones. Now I need to go back as I'm sure I missed more than
half of my family in each of them. If I can find them that is and then
any more than that will be huge bonuses.
Dubois County
Cuzco Cemetery Cuzco
Hillsboro Cemetery Shiloh
Payne cemetery Duff
Traylor Cemetery City Unknown
Orange County
Ames Cemetery Chapel French Lick Township

To see the Indiana Tombstones I have taken so far so you know I'm not just
crazy.

Thanks in advance,
Cassy.
Remember even if you only know how to get to one cemetery or if it isn't a
cemetery on my list I would still love the directions. I get nuts when
I'm taking photographs!
As for sending this to the Knox County list, I know many people on the
list don't live in Knox County, thought maybe someone here could help me
out also.
