Virginia, The library here in Terre Haute has an index of all readable
stones in First Prairie Creek Baptist Church cemetery. Someone else on this
list offered to look up on their book that they have. If they can't find the
name, let me know. I go by the library daily on the way home from work and I
can look-up the name to see if it is in any other cemetery that has been
cataloged in Vigo or Parke counties. If your ancestor is in the Baptist
Church cemetery, I'd be more then happy to take a picture of the stone for
you as that cemetery is just down the road from me.

Write to the Vigo Co. Library. They have the book. Or send me the names you
are looking for. I have the book too. I'll see if I can help.

In my records for the IGS cemetery project, I find a Little Flatrock Church
with at cemetery at 2471S 450E, Rushville IN 46173. This church is on
County Road 450E, which can be reached by turning south from State Road 44
east of Rushville or north from SR52 south of Rushville. The church is
south of SR200S, which also intersects with SR52 south of Rushville.

Diana-
I see you are working on cemeteries in Rush Co., IN. Can you tell me if
there is a cemetery there called Little Flat Rock Cemetery and if so,
anything else about it? Haven't been able to find any information on this.
Am interested in the Anderson family buried there.
Thanks,
Linda

Please do not send queries through this list.
I'm not trying to sound negative, but don't hold your breath on any
meaningful cemetery legislation out of this next General Assembly. With the
biannual budget and redistricting due this next year, there will be plenty to
fight about to keep the legislators busy. We can only hope there will be
time to actually accomplish something worthwhile.

Merry Christmas to all. Our love ones will waite, till spring for us to look out for them and their home. Pat & Ray
It was in the Schwartz cemetery, I wasn't bothered.
I have spent 6 1/2 hrs. today measuring and laying out the grave sites, and
the location of the meeting house on the cemetery property. I surveyed the
boundaries and staked it out, according to the Deed, dated 1825. I worked on
staking out the Rows until dark. In the high country where I was in Floyd Co.
In., the Chill factor was about 10 degrees, with the wind blowing pretty hard
on top of a hill in the open. Don't quit, wear a lot of loose clothing and
keep moving, this time of the year you see a lot you'll miss in the spring
after everything grows out. Keep Warm !.

True How True, This is the best time to check out the old cemetery sites.
And 45 degrees might not be to bad....with out wind......I have some of
those places to go also. I need to get out to do my final few in Rush Co.,
to check the sites given one and in the records. Hope to finish up a list
for the county.....wish it was just a little warmer but maybe I can survive.
I did like the cold weather but this year it seems to be telling me I am
getting old...Two of the sites I still have to check have not been ever had
the stones copied. That will take some time in the cold, since they are 2
of the oldest in the county. Diana in Rush Co.
But I love the cold. Now if we can get any snow out here in Terre Haute. I
did go to a cemetery on saturday though. It was a balmy 45 that day. I was
at the First Prairie Creek Baptist Church cemetery. It sure was nice to go
to a pioneer cemetery and NOT see any overgrowth and destruction. This
cemetery was beautiful and well taken care of with stones dated back to
1816.

House Speaker John R. Gregg of Sandborn has announced that Rep. Markt Lytle
will continue to serve as Chairman of the House Agriculture, Natural Resources
and Rural Development Committee for the 2001 legislative session.
I checked this morning and there are STILL no reports on-line for 5 of the 6
meetings of the joint House-Senate Natural Resources Study Committee for the
Fall of 2000. (See http://www.ai.org/legislative/interim/committees/nrsc.html
Rep. Lytle's aide told me a couple of months ago that the reports weren't
on-line because of the absence or illness of a staff member. I had hoped that
there would be something available by now.
The First Regular Session of the 112th Indiana General Assembly will reconvene
on January 8th, 2001.
I don't have a clue what the Committee has recommended for consideration with
respect to pioneer cemeteries at the 2001 General Assembly. Has anybody heard
any rumors?
