I've been so swamped trying to keep up with the progress of legislation
through the 1999 General Assembly that I've been remiss in asking the
members of the INPCRP group to answer a roll call about their upcoming
and/or ongoing cemetery restoration projects.
Please post a message to the group about your recent, current or projected
efforts to (1) educate the public about pioneer cemeteries, (2) identify
pioneer cemeteries and/or (3) restore, protect and preserve pioneer
cemeteries.
It's Spring and a fine time to tackle cemetery cleanup projects. Even if
your project is only in the planning stages, please tell us about it. If
you have a website that illustrates your project, be sure to include the
URL.
Make sure you post to the group <INPCRP-L(a)rootsweb.com> and not to me
personally. This is something everyone wants to know about.

I got an urgent-sounding telephone message today from a JOHN WALTERS wanting
to talk to me about pioneer cemeteries in FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
Unfortunately, he did not leave a telephone number and I can't call him
back.
If anyone knows this individual, please either contact him and ask him to
call me back or write to me privately with his telephone number.

ubj: The Homestead--Getting to Know Our Pioneer Settlers
Date: 3/20/99 8:14:44 AM Central Standard Time
From: CAROLBRADB
To: stareditor(a)starnews.com
Dear Editor:
The controversy over whether to preserve Indiana's pioneer cemeteries
continues in the Statehouse. Perhaps those who don't seem to understand the
importance of respecting their final resting places can't relate to these
pioneers on a personal basis because they belonged to "someone else."
Regardless of whose family they were, they risked everything to make a home in
Indiana when they had only their families to rely on for safety. Many of these
pioneer settlers walked hundreds of miles through all kinds of weather to get
there.
To help others understand, I would like to share with you a little of the
humanness of one of my Indiana roots, though there were several who pioneered
in Morgan County. John Fowler had been indentured in North Carolina, following
the death of his father. When he took back his freedom, nothing in the world
was more important than his family, and that belief has continued down through
the generations. Although at least one of my ancestral cemeteries has already
been destroyed (Wilhoit), it is my fervent hope that we can respect and
preserve the final resting places of those buried in the remaining cemeteries
in Indiana who had hoped to "Rest In Peace."
Family gatherings were always important to the Fowlers and the love of home
and family even today bonds even distant cousins together. At one family
reunion early in this century, Willis Fowler, a well-known Indiana poet, read
a poem he had written about the family homestead in Morgan County, near
Wilbur. It described the original place where the Fowlers had settled and he
wrote as follows:
The Homestead
Two furlongs from the highway, to the homestead on the hill,
Three gateways and a turnstile, and a purling little rill--
Ive walked the crooked pathway a thousand times or more
With eggs and pats of butter to market at the store.
Barefooted all the sumer, and when October came,
I got my red-top copper-toes, and proudly wore the same.
And forty weary years have passed, and memory wanders still
Two furlongs from the highway to the homestead on the hill.
The farmhouse was old-fashioned, with its chimney large and high,
The wellsweep with its dangling rope suspended from the sky.
A fine old-fashioned apple tree grew just before the door,
Bestowed its ever-welcome shade for sixty years or more.
A barn two stories high, of logs, with grapevines fruited deep--
A cow-shed just behind it where the cattle used to sleep--
At night I used to listen to the noisy whip-poor-will,
Two furlongs from the highway in the homestead on the hill.
It seems so out incongruous to me that people of our nation, who were
horrified in World War Two by the use of bulldozers to dig mass graves, can
justify their own use of bulldozers to dig up the graves of our own people en
masse, to make a few extra bucks.

Lois and others:
I don't think any of the proposed amendments distract from our intentions.
These are considered MINOR in the whole realm of things. Let's hope others
aren't proposed from the floor.
The language regarding special equipment for Recorder's, I'm sure, is just to
assure the Co. Recorder's Association that they will have very little extra
responsibilities and no county outlay of money to comply with this law. This
should pacify them and keep them from testifying AGAINST the bill. It's not
that they're against the intent, but one must remember that they have a job to
do and many are on limited budgets and staffing and more responsibilities can
get them excited. this shouldn't be a problem now.
I think Lois is correct in her interpretation of cemetery owners and grave
memorial owners being exempt. As secretary to my town's cemetery association,
I would hate to be charged with a crime the first time we bury one of our
town's folk! Same goes for exhumation under family request or court order.
My only concern is the interpretation of "archeological endeavors". I know
this is considered in other state statutes, but I just don't want some
developer to cut corners and have a cemetery "dug up" for archeological
purposes, with permission of the state, and then have the remains re-buried
elsewhere so that they can use the ground for their own purposes. Some may
say that that shouldn't happen, but remember who has possession of all of
those remains that have been dug up in recent months and who hasn't re-
interred them yet.
Just my thoughts and take on things. Keep up the good work, Lois!

Past President, Newton Co. Historical Society

cemeteries!
I tried to bear down for a few minutes tonight to digest the amendments that
are being proposed to HB 1522 by the Senate Committee that will be hearing
this bill again on Wednesday, March 24, 1999 at 1:30 P.M. in Room 233 of the
State House.
Here's my best take as a lay person on the proposed changes.
(1) We've LOST the provision that after 1/1/2000, a grave memorial must
contain the name of the cemetery where the memorial is installed.
My opinion: I suspect the Senators fail to understand WHY this is
important as they are probably not fully in touch with the problem of
cemetery theft. Granted, there is usually something that passes for
"security" in modern-day cemeteries which serves to discourage cemetery art
theft but, as laser-etched stones become more and more elaborate, I assure
you those stones are going to start disappearing at an alarming rate and, if
they are marked with their cemetery of origin, it will certainly assist in
their retrieval. I'm really sorry to see this provision won't survive the
Senate.
(2) The proposed amendment is going to eliminate "certain penalties for
violations of cemetery preservation laws".
My opinion: There was some language in HB 1522 that I seems
redundant, the penalties having been stated elsewhere in the bill.
(3) The proposed amendment is going to provide that "county recorders are
not obligated to acquire special equipment to record grave memorial
information and provides standardized forms for filing this information."
My opinion: I don't see a problem with this. Do any of you? I
wonder what sort of "special equipment" they are worried about.
(4) The proposed amendment states, "In certain circumstances, exempts
cemetery owners and owners of grave memorials from the cemetery preservation
law."
My opinion: As I read the bill language, I believe this refers to a
new portion which states "This chapter does not apply to . . . the owner of
a grave memorial who, for the purpose of replacing a grave memorial with a
different grave memorial, transfers ownership of the grave memorial to a
cemetery, cemetery owner, or grave memorial provider." This seems to refer
to REPLACING a marker with a new marker. Do you agree?
Section 1 also states, "This chapter does not apply to . . . [one
who owns or operates and conducts the business of a cemetery] in the course
of performing a legitimate function . . . in relation to the owner's
cemetery. . . ." This means to me the "operation of a cemetery", which
would include disturbing the earth for the purpose of conducting burials,
etc. [Reference is made here to IC 23-14, which is available on-line at
http://www.state.in.us/legislative/ic/code/title23/ar14/.]
I don't see a problem with this addition. Do any of you?
(5) My primary concern (the legal "disturbance" of burial grounds for
"agricultural purposes") is addressed twice in the proposed amendments.
First, the digest specifically states, "Provides that a person who disturbs
the earth for agricultural purposes IS NOT EXEMPT from committing cemetery
mischief." [Emphasis added.]
Second, the proposed language for IC 35-43-1-2.1 states:
"This section does NOT apply to . . . a person who acts in
a proper and acceptable manner as authorized by IC
14-21 [the DIVISION OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION
AND ARCHEOLOGY statutes] other than a person who
disturbs the earth for an agricultural purpose under the
exemption to IC 14-21 that is provided in IC 14-21-1-24."
Senator Meeks' staff has assured him that the above provision most assuredly
means that it does not apply to archeological endeavors described in IC
14-21, but that it DOES apply to disturbing the earth for agricultural
purposes, meaning that farmers CANNOT legally destroy all visible signs of a
cemeteries, as presently permitted under IC 14-21-1-24.
Based on the information I have been provided and my lay interpretation of
that information, I am hoping that HB 1522 will be amended and passed by the
Senate.
That having been said, let me also say that HB 1522 DOES NOT solve all the
problems of abandoned and neglected cemeteries in Indiana. It is only a
START. It's better than what we have on the books today.
Rep. Lytle has assured us that his committee will be conducting summer
studies in various parts of the state this summer, which will provide an
opportunity for all of us to speak up and express our concerns for these
neglected sites.
I welcome your comments.

The Senate Corrections, Criminal and Civil Procedures Committee will meet on
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1999 AT 1:30 PM in ROOM 233 at the State House.
They will be taking action on only two bills (HB 1210 and HB 1522). The
agenda as of Tuesday morning is:
HB 1865 Criminal history checks for handguns
HB 2076 Nuisance actions and solid waste districts.
HB 1147 Wrongful death.
HB 1563 Commercial bribery.
HB 1524 Health facility receivership.
HB 1210 Neglect of a dependent.
HB 1522 Cemetery preservation.
I didn't get a chance to review the proposed amendments last night because
our water heater (not so wisely installed on the second floor) chose to bust
open and, having no other option, we spent the evening replacing it and
cleaning up the mess. I'll try to get a summary of the proposed changes out
to you tonight.

Bill Shaw's latest offering in the Indianapolis Star-News has raised
numerous serious concerns about the status of legislation pending at this
critical juncture of the 1999 General Assembly. As you know, 10 or 12 bills
were introduced at the beginning of the year, all aimed at protecting
Indiana's abandoned and neglected pioneer cemeteries.
Bill's article underscores the fact that SB 280 is apparently "DOA" in the
House and HB 1522 is the ONLY chance we have of getting ANYTHING passed in
this session.
Senator Robert Meeks has faxed to me the amendments that were adopted at
last week's Senate Committee hearing (3/17/99) and further advised that the
matter is set for additional hearing on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24th. Can any of
you attend on Wednesday, 3/24/99?
As soon as I get a chance to digest the proposed changes, I will report
further on these amendments.
Bill Shaw's published letter is on-line at:
http://www.starnews.com/news/editorial/99/mar/0322SN_shaw.html
Your comments?
Lois
When I read John Herbst's wonderful Letter to the Editor, Indianapolis
StarNews, my soapbox marched its way out of the corner where I'd left it, and
another letter was fired off to the Editor. It seems to me that part of our
problem is that our ancestors have not come "alive" to some of these
developers and legislators. I had a poem in my records, written by a distant
cousin at a family reunion near the turn of the century that described his
feelings about the old homestead. It is contained in the letter to the
StarNews, hopefully making the pioneers in these cemeteries seem less "dead."
With any luck at all, it will be published in the next several days.
Carol Bradbury
Natalie:
Thanks for the timely report. I hope to hear from Sen. Robert Meeks' office
on Monday with the details of the amendments the Senate proposes be made to
HB 1522. Will update you all as soon as that info comes in.

Will report what happened today, Sat. in Knox County on Meet Your
Legislature Day. These are held about once a month on Vincennes
University campus. Any topic before the legislature is fair game.
I had read Lois email about the House Bill 1522 in the Senate at present
and the changes you stated they would probably make to the bill.
I told the audience..."I am a firm believer in protecting and preserving
pioneer cemeteries.
House Bill 1226 and House Bill 1522 on Cemetery Restoration and Cemetery
Preservation have passed the House to the Senate. Senate Bill 280 on
protecting pioneer cemeteries from desecration is now in the House. All
three of these bills will help stop destruction to our cemeteries.
Senator Waterman...what can you tell us about the discussion of House
Bill 1522 which had the 2nd reading on Wed. 17 March? Has House Bill
1226 been discussed?
Representative Frenz...would you please share with us the status of
Senate Bill 280 which is now in Mark Lytle's committee?"
First Rep. Frenz told the audience a background to this problem which was
correct and good. But he never shared anything about Bill 280. Maybe he
did not know, since he is not on the house committee to study it.
Senator Waterman said the HB 1522 passed 8-0. I asked if the bill had
been changed in any way and he said no. I asked if it would go for the
third reading and a vote and he said it sure would. He offered no other
comments.
I guess these guys have too much to remember all the details of each
bill. At least Knox County people heard something about the problem of
pioneer cemeteries from Frenz. So many here are not aware of this
destruction.
While there, I heard about another cemetery in Daviess County on Highway
50 just before you get to the intersection of 57 and 50. On the right
before the intersection, is a new huge home and warehouse for Linco
Coffee owner and business. On the property was a small cemetery. He
intended to keep it and invited a person over to see it as he thought it
might have some of her family. She kept putting it off, but finally went
only to find he had hired some people to cut the trees around the
property and especially around the cemetery. The tree cutters let the
trees fall on the cemetery stones breaking them. I do not know if all
were broken or just a few. The question asked me was "What can he do now
that this problem exists?" He wants to keep the cemetery.
Does anyone have an answer? I would think if the tree cutters were
bonded they would be held responsible. If they were not bonded, then it
would be the property owners expense. Am I off base???

I've received one oral report on the 3/17/99 Senate hearing on HB 1522 (Rep.
Markt Lytle's House Bill). Also, Senator Meeks telephoned me on Wednesday
afternoon, 3/17/99, before the hearings.
(If any of you were at the hearings, PLEASE post to the group your accounts
of what transpired and your opinions on the process as well.)
In essence, the Senate committee has acknowledged they've received a LOT of
comments on this bill (thanks to every one of you who participated in that).
It's my understanding that the Senate committee opted to AMEND HB 1522 to
clarify its language about the exemption for agricultural purposes to permit
the destruction of visible sign of a cemetery. Rep. Lytle (who appeared at
the 3/17/99 hearing) acknowledged that that was the INTENT of the bill. My
argument is that the language is, at best, ambiguous and confusing and, at a
minimum, needed to be clarified. It appears that is what the Senate
committee is going to do.
It seems the amendment will drop Rep. Lytle's requirement that all new
stones will have to be engraved with the name of the cemetery in which they
were installed. Apparently there was some objection from the monument
makers and/or their lobbyist.
I did receive a message on Thursday from Sen. Meeks' office in response to
my request for a copy of the amendment. They indicated it might be
available on Monday of next week. There is always the chance that it will
show up on the General Assembly's website before then.
That's the gist of what I can report at this moment. More later.

I have, in my Internet wanderings, overlooked a fine legislative research
resource in State Rep. Markt Lytle's Statehouse Reports. They can be found
at http://www.state.in.us/R69/. These are excellent (apparently weekly)
"media releases" on important happenings in the State Capitol and offer
citizens of any Indiana district an excellent overview of the prior week's
accomplishments and set-backs.
I gleaned the 2 following cemetery-related quips from his recent reports
that I think
you'll find interesting:
Rep. Lytle's February 12th, 1999 report included the following:
Members of the Agriculture, Natural Resources and
Rural Development Committee are taking a comprehensive
look at the need for new laws governing desecration of
the state's cemeteries. As recent media accounts have
indicated, the problems that exist in this area are diverse,
ranging from determining the location of all the public
and private cemeteries in the state to figuring out ways
to relocate or protect remains from cemeteries found
on private land.
While the discussions should result in legislation
addressing some of these concerns, I expect that a
more in-depth investigation will take place in a
summer study committee.
His report dated March 12, 1999
<http://www.state.in.us/legislative/hdpr/R69_03111999.html> contained the
following sentence:
. . . House Bill 1522 begins the process of changing laws
covering desecration of cemeteries. . . .
I'm especially pleased to see that Rep. Lytle opted here to use the verb
"begins". This serves to underscore his realization that, at best, the
bills pending before this 1999 Session of the General Assembly is only a
START. None of them and not even ALL of them will solve the problems we
face. I find this very encouraging.
No word yet on the outcome of this afternoon's Senate hearings on HB 1522.
If anyone in the group was able to be there, PLEASE post a report to the
group so we'll know what happened.
Thanks.
