This meeting sounds like a good place to put that one guy to shame and
get the message through to the others. I think some of the Judges are
getting payed by the Coal Companys,
I won't be able to make the meeting, but I WANT BOB HILL and his
cemetery Commissioners to be there and represent me and some others, I
know they will do a good job

Anyone want to come to Vincennes and join me?
The Indiana General Assembly will be the subject of discussion at a "Meet
your Legislators" at 9 a.m. Saturday at Vincennes University's Davis
Hall. Legislators invited are State Sen. John Waterman, R-Shelburn;
Speaker of the House, John Gregg, D-Sandborn; and State Rep. John Frenz,
D-Vincennes.
Following opening statements by the legislators, the audience will be
invited to ask questions. The public is invited to attend the forum on
the first floor of Davis Hall, which is located at the corner of 2nd and
Tecumseh Streets.
Both of VU's public stations, WVUT-TV and WVUB will broadcast the forum
live. During the broadcasts, people may call (812) 888-5360 with their
questions which will be relayed to the forum moderator.
John Waterman is the one to target since he defeated the bill in the
senate just recently about lowering the bond for reclaiming coal mines.
Do you think we could hit them with what do they intend to do in the
legislature this year about the problem of the coal companies throughout
Indiana taking small cemeteries and moving them to another location?
Anybody got good questions you want to pass along to me?

Charlie, my apologies if your e-mail did not go through. I had my
computer unplugged because of an electrical failure yesterday and had
failed to hook up again.
My adventure with Pike Co. Coal Co. called Triad Mine started on 16 Jan
when my husband and I went to court in Petersburg. On 25 Dec 1997, there
was a notice in the paper that a petition had been filed for the
disinterment and reinterment of graves in Wallen Family Cemetery. This
was also called Robling Family Cemetery as well. This was located in
Logan Twp. near the Patoka River bottoms in the SE quarter of the SE
quarter of Section 26, Twp. 1 South, Range 9 West an approximate
one-fourth acre square. The paper listed 10 graves on this petition.
(comment-there were really 13 graves with stones). Vern Partenheimer was
the lawyer for the coal company. His office is 219 N. Hart St., P. O.
Box 13, Princeton, IN 47670-phone 812-386-0050. (comment..only 3 of the
6 children buried there with stones were listed in the paper. I took
tracings of each stone and the names came through clear with the
exception of one. One of the children's stone had a name on top as well
as on the side. They were twins-Claude & Maude. No last name was given
but because they were all in a row with Lewis & Eliza Jane Roblings
stone, one can assume they were Roblings. I then went to the Bible
record of this family and it stated Lewis & Eliza had 5 children that
died as infants and one that died at age 16-so there were your six
stones.)
Lewis was a Civil War Veteran with the company served upon his stone. I
also own his war papers. According to the census, Lewis and Eliza had
three other children that died young so are probably buried there as
well.
William Walling/Wallin owned this land in 1880,had 4 wives (one of them a
Robling), & he died by 12 Oct 1888 as testified by his will & probate.
He surely was buried there as well as his 2 of his wives. No stones
remain.
After doing the census of this area from 1850-1910, there was the
possiblitity of 22 Roblings being buried there. That was the closest
cemetery to where they lived outside of Barnes Cemetery in the same
section but west of Wallen. Understand this one is next on Triad's list.
More on that later.
I sent certified letters to Triad and Judge Marvin Stratton before the
court hearing. Little did that help!! The judge is sympathetic to the
coal industry since three-fourths of the people in Pike make a living off
of the mines & of course, his job is made possible by voters. A friend
of mine in Petersburg took 15 petitions around town and when collected,
there were 264 signatures. By the time we decided to do this, there was
only 2 weeks till court time. We could of doubled that number if we had
done it sooner. I saw the judge show the list to the lawyer before
walking into the courtroom, but it didn't seem to make an impression. I
did not know I would have to speak on our behalf or I would of been
better prepared. At the last minute when our spokeperson had not shown
up, I was told by our group to say something. Never having been in
court, was I green. Not having a lawyer & not being able to have one, I
only knew to refute what had been said by the opposite side. Thank
goodness I had pictures of the cemetery taken by my friend which showed
it better than what the landowner described it. The landowner was asked
by the coal co.'s lawyer, which was his lawyer T00, how many graves were
in the cemetery beside the ones with stones. He said, "Well, maybe two
more." (comment--when we were there, we counted 10 sunk in places just
around the Robling stone. Didn't count those over by the big tree so
there were more, I'm sure). Don't particulary want the coal company to
know I was on the premises before the court hearing. There was a no
trespassing sign & those doing so would be prosecuted. Thank goodness
they did not ask me when I had been there as they did all the others.
QUESTION; When the coal com. removes bodies, do they also take up the
ones without stones?? Or do they omit them, dig them as coal & someday
we might be burning their ashes?
There was also the civil war soldier's great grand son in court and he
testified that he did not want the graves moved. The judge tried to
trick him by saying where did he want his relatives moved to-Atkinson
Chapel or Knights Chapel. We had been told by a former trustee that if
we had a relative present, it would help our case. No so!! So it was
already decided in his mind by then. However, the judge stated at the
end that because this was a big decision, he would like to have time to
think about it. He thought about it for a week, giving us some hope, but
on Friday my friend in Petersburg called his office, talked to the Judge
himself, & was told he would make his decision on Monday, the 26th.
However, we learned Mon. that he had informed the lawyer for the coal co.
on Fri., the 23rd that they had won. We were informed the lawyer had to
know before us.
I got busy on the 26th and the next 2 days keep the phone hot but no
answers. Called Mango's office, he was out for a week so I asked the
girl that answered what were the steps necessary in order to be present
at a cemetery reinterment? She said she had never heard of any.
I called the Division of Historical Preseveration and Archives in Indy
and asked then the same. They too did not know but suggested I contact
the coal co. and the land owner for permission to go on the land at the
reinterment.
I called the coal co. office in Edwarsport & was referred to a shop area
where someone could answer the question plus 3 more..1)Where will the
Roblings be buried? 2)What will happen to Lewis Robling's big tombstone?
3) When will the reinterment take place? I talked to a John Booth who
assurred me an answer. He called back soon & said the Lawyer was out of
town this week, & the land owner would give me a call after talking to
the lawyer. Have you caught it yet?? The old run around.
I called the land owner, James Gladish, and got an answer machine.
I called the lawyer's office 1/26 & was told he was out of the office. I
left word for him to call and answer question #1 & #2. Thought I would
hit him with #3 when I talked with him. That never happened. He never
called back. On 1/30 the lawyer send Gladish the memo that I had left
with his office & marked the spot Returned Call on the memo. He never
called. From that we learned they would be moved to Atkinson Chapel &
the head stone would be moved with them. Two other times I called the
lawyer's office & he was out of town both times. Bet he was sitting in
the next office!
I called Gladish again and got him and he answered #1 as stated above.
When asked if we could have permission to go on his land to see the
reburial, he said it was not necessary because it would be done right. I
asked permission for the gr.gr son since that was his relatives buried
there & gave Gladish his phone number. As of Feb 13, the gr. gr son had
not heard from anyone.
Is it possible that they could only remove the stones to a new setting &
leave the bodies in the ground?
Gladish stated they didn't need any one else there because of the safety
factor.
I have it on good authority that the coal company & there are several in
Pike Co. will be taking 15 cemeteries. So far, they have taken Battles,
McGillum, and now Wallen. Barnes will be next as they have moved to the
west border of Pike Co. in Logan Twp. and now are moving east towards
Wallen Cem. Barnes is on a high hill so they are going to squeeze it
out. There are 2 Civil War soldiers buried there. Have papers on one
and information on the second. There are two relatives of my husband's
buried there..a great aunt and a great uncle. The latter one does not
have a stone. I wrote to his grandchildren, five in number, and told them
about this. They want to put up a stone if they can find where he is
buried. The coal company has blocked off the road to the cemetery, so
don't know how they would get it there.
Talking about blocking the road, the coal company did just that with
Wallen Cem. The gr.gr son wanted to go see if the stone had been moved
yet so took a drive down there. He said the road was blocked from going
up the hill so he decided to go down the highway and come through the
Patoka bottoms. When he got to the top of that hill before coming to the
Cemetery, it also was blocked.
My interest in this is we own 158 acres in the next township of Madison
which is above Logan. This happens to be the homeplace of Dale's great
grandfather who was a first cousin to Lewis Robling buried in Wallen Cem.
Just hope and pray they don't mine in our area there-only time will
tell.
So there, you have my disgusting adventure with the coal company, etc,
which disturbed my sleep for two weeks plus an ernourmous phone bill to
boot!!

Charles,
As I have said, I'm not particular. Columbus works for me if it works
for Lois and Randy. March 14 sound good to me too. We will need to
have a count of persons planning to attend before the end of February or
first week of March.
Keep us posted on Pike Co. Like you, I would really like to do
something about this situation if possible.

There are several of us looking forward to the meeting on March 14.
There will be people even coming from around Vincennes that are
interested in getting something done and organized!
I have suggested Columbus, but where?? IF it is decided not to
have it in Columbus, then I'll suggest the little town of WESTPORT on
state highway # 3. It is located half way between N.Vernon and
Greensburg and 20 miles East of Columbus. I'm sure we could use the new
Comunity building or the town hall. There is a resturant just around the
corner from the Town Hall and 2 blocks down main street from the
Community Building. The food isn't bad. Its country cooking and they
start serving dinner at 10:30am.
Whatever we do , we should finalize the plans soon. Give me some Idea
and maybe I can help get things set up!!
I am trying to get more information on the coal mine co. and
cemetery. As soon as I do, I will get it to you as fast as E-mail will
go. I hope we can do something. There is a pamphlet that was produced by
the Trustees Association in Indianapolis. I hope I can have someone to
scan it, I'll get it on the tube and forward it to you.

Hi gang.
Read all your e-mail regarding GPS and cemetery locator. Thanks, I
appreciate your thoughts.
Here are some points you need to think about:
1. Yes there is an inaccuracy in the GPS system which is dictated by
the US military. It is not really a designed inaccuracy however, just a
designed shortcoming. The accuracy of the GPS system is +/-100yds
(300ft). This is achieved not by what is displayed by rather by what is
NOT displayed on the GPS readout. Like a calculator, the devices
accuracy is dependent on the number of digits it displays on screen. By
limiting this "display resolution" the GPS is kept to a maximum
verifiable accuracy of +/- 100yds.
I don't view this as a problem at all. Most of the time you are going
to be closer than 100 yds to actual anyway. And, since we don't plan on
dropping bombs or ordering up long range artillery, it will suffice to
locate a cemetery.
2. I know for my purposes, I plan to use electronic mapping almost
exclusively. The exception would be when I print a map for some
reason. Using a GPS, I can get the Lon/Lat and transcribe those
coordinates in the comfort of my own office without needing to carry a
map, a pen, a notepad, a compass, besides the GPS unit tucked neatly in
my pocket. Most map software wants you to supply digital coordinates
for Lon/Lat (40.938472) instead of 40° 32' 15"N and I believe the
readout given by the GPS is in the latter form. This is a simple
conversion process and takes very little time. Question: Ron, will the
GPS give the digital coordinates?
3. Yep, I noticed after working with the data from USGS that there are
both inactive and active cemeteries in the mix. I'm not sure how they
arrived at what to include or not include but it suffices to say the
list is a little short. (about 3/5 short) We will just have to build on
the data as we go.

I think the TOPO map is the right way to go, I've used them in the past
with a lensetic compass and I could locate a ground hog hole with them.
I'm sure that the new maps are much better that the 35yr old ones that I
have. Scott , I think you are on the right track with the state
cemetery locater . I think Ron B. knows what he is talking about Topos,
sounds like he has had a Boy Scout Troop.

Hi All,
I hope to save everyone some frustration, by sharing some of my
experiences with GPS. The readings you see at the USGS site is just one
of the optional readings you can set for your GPS unit. With those
readings and a Topo map, you might as well throw a dart to find where
you are on the map. BUT there is another optional reading UTM/UPS shows
how many meters N of 0 and E or W of 0. There is a small clear plastic
card you can purchase (w/instructions). On the newer Topo maps, there is
a fine light blue line grid that this card is used for. On older maps
there is small marking on all sides of the map with numbers. You have to
draw your own grid. Easy to find where you are. Except of the erroneous
readings put in on purpose by Uncle Sam (remember the missing A10).
Using the plastic card you can get more exact reading than your unit
will tell you.. Then change the options on GPS unit and viola you have
the reading the USGS map maker wants.
All you need the GPS for is to convert your readings, and there is
probably a program to do just that.
Clear as mud, right. Wish I had this many hints when I started.
Ron Baldwin
Monroe County
The USGS maps and the USGS database are indeed good STARTING POINTS. Here
in Clark County, when I first got interested in this subject, the USGS
database listed THIRTY cemeteries in the County.
What caught my immediate attention was the fact that the 600+ person
cemetery where my mother, grandparents, greatgrandparent and
great-great-grandparents are buried and where I will be buried (meaning it
is still active), which is located on federal property at the Ammunition
Plant was NOT on this list.
To date, we have identified in excess of ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY CEMETERIES here
in Clark County. New sites are added every month.
A word of caution about GPS systems: They are INTENTIONALLY INACCURATE to,
I believe, 100 yards. I understand this is mandated by the federal
government to prevent the systems from being used for terroristic purposes.

Scott.....I have kicked around the same idea for my county. The USGS
map came with about a third of all of the cemeteries in Franklin
County. I am now in the process of logging all of the cemeteries and
linking the page to both my genealogy and pcrp pages. I will also will
be visiting each cemetery soon, hopefully getting a picture of each one
and also documenting the condition on the websites. By the way some of
those on the Franklin County USGS listing are not currently used. One I
know is the Jenks Cemetery. It contains two graves on a private piece
of land. So all are not currently in use. The USGS is a good starting
point but I think each of us could do a much better job. I also like
the idea of the GPS....if I could ever figure out how to use one...

I need some input from everyone before I waste my time on something:
I have obtained from the USGS web site, a file containing the geographic
coordinates of all the active cemeteries in the state of Indiana. There
are no old cemeteries on this list, just the ones currently active.
However, It is my hope that as time progresses, we are able to obtain a
couple of GPS receivers to loan out to our volunteers to obtain
coordinates for other cemeteries.
I would like to create a state-wide cemetery locator system using the US
census bureaus Tiger Map Server. As a matter of fact, I have already
done so. The problem is, it contains over 3500 points plotted for the
state and as such is 1.5 megabytes. Too large for my current space
allocation. As an alternative, I will offer a COUNTY system to those of
you who want it. It will consist of a file which must be uploaded to
your server and a line of HTML to put on your page. The file is TMS
marker file that contains the coordinates for the cemeteries in your
county. When a user clicks on the link, they will be delivered to
http://tiger.census.gov and presented a map of the county showing the
location of all the cemeteries in the marker file. The map server
provides facilities to zoom in and move around on the map to zero in on
a particular cemetery if desired.
I should have a link for Huntington County active by later this evening
if you want to see what it looks like. Please let me know what you
think of the idea and if you would like the files for your county. If
you have any ideas on where we can upload the state-wide version, let me
know about that also. Thanks.

I suggest you contact Bob Hill & Roy Granger E-mail
rgranger(a)shaker.vinu.edu They have a non-profit-organization =
Cemetery Preservation Org. and may be able to give you some answers to
your questions about financing and other things. They are Cemetery
Commissioners for Knox County And have a court fight going on now. If
they win. It will make it a lot easier on all o us. Lets keep our
fingers crossed.
As for a meeting place, I suggest Columbus Ind.. It is more
centerly located for all the members that I know of. It is about in the
center between you and Lois. I know Bob and I have been talking about
this for some time.

John Brundage, this sounds like TERRIFIC news for you and the Madison County
Cemetery Commission. Congratulations!

Just happened to be looking through my latest Cabela's catalog and
noticed they carry a Magellan GPS (model Pioneer) for $100.00. Not a
lot of bells and wistles but it receives up to 12 satellites at once and
is waterproof. Magellan is a decent brand too. These things are pretty
neat. They can tell you where you are, where you are going, distance,
altitude, time. I think they have in this book that will even tell you
where to GO. Now who needs a machine to do that? Not me, I'm married!

:-] OOPS (now I forgot to answer roll coll!)
Havn't had the oportunity to get much done here in Huntington Co. over
the last month. Illness, my own and others in the family, have kept me
pretty well home-bound. I still would like to get out to the Hildebrand
cemetery before spring and start clearing underbrush. I also would like
to complete me efforts to enter the burial lists for all Huntington Co.
cemeteries. Since those lists are almost 40 years old, they will make a
pretty good starting point for my local efforts. I am hoping I can get
my boy scout troop out in the brush with hedge trimmers (the manual
kind) and rakes this spring.

If any of you have any names and addresses of anyone who should receive
a copy of our upcoming INPCRP newsletter, please let me know. I would
like to compile a list of all the Genealogy clubs, Historical societies,
and preservation organizations, as well as any individuals whom you
think would like to see it. I will be putting the newsletter together
during the next several days. It will be available for download as an
RTF file from the PCRP Web site. I will be sending a copy to all of
our state representatives. Any items of interest or progress reports
for submission should be sent to me before February 12th.
Also: I have been asked to speak at the February 19th meeting of the
Genealogical Society of Whitley County (GSWC). I am going to be telling
them about the INPCRP and our objectives and letting them in on future
plans and the political front. This is a paying engagement and proceeds
will benefit the INPCRP.
