Please post this
Im not sure what the work is that's begun here in South Bend, in but
someone that knows things a little better than I do should take a look.
On Cleveland road right by the Meijers at portage is an old cemetery -
it has been over grown for years but they have started working on the
property with heavy equipment that is adjacent to the property. It
looked like it might get kind of close if not infringe on the cemetery.
With every thing I have seen I am a bit skeptical and if someone in a
legitimate position of authority were to stop by and eyeball things and
make their presence known maybe any problems - again not sure of there
will be any - might be non - existent - I am all for leaving sacred
ground - sacred. Anyway I hope that for all of this the construction
crew is doing the right thing.

Kyle: I would like to know the process for obtaining a military stone.
We have one that was broken in three pieces and found each piece in a
different part of the cemetery and finally got them together. However,
vandals or something smashed into it a year or so ago and it is in many
pieces now. This is sad because this is one of the elaborate ones. You
would think the information on the stone would be enough to obtain
another one.
Any way, let me know and we will try to get another one. We have
handled military stones and it just takes a few strong fellas to move
one. We have a monument company here in town that would be a
good place to have it delivered.
Thanks for the information,
Joan Wray

That seemed to be the trend back in the day, by moving only the
stones
we
were 'moving the cemetery' even though the bodies were not
moved. We
have
one
small cemetery in Washington Township, Newton County that is being
farmed
over. The farmer took the stones and put them in his tool shed.
They
are about
to be reinstalled at another cemetery nearby so at least the names
will
not
be forgotten.
On another note.. I obtained another civil war marker from the
government
this week to be placed on a grave that had gone unmarked for over 100
years.
Thanks to Helen Wildermuth of Stonehugger Cemetery Restoration, who
donated
the installation labor while she was working here in Newton Co., this
soldier
is now marked. For those of you who have soldier graves that have no
stone or
need a new stone, the procurement of a military marker is really a
simple
process. The hardest part is making sure you have a way to unload
it
when it
arrives. I had a local lumber yard use their forklift to set it off
of
the
truck for me. There is no cost to obtain one of these stones, you
just
need to
fill out an application and be able to prove the military service of
the
veteran. If anyone has any questions on doing this, I'd be
happy to
assist them
in getting started.
Spring is here...let the restoration continue.

Hi List:
You are right, here in Tipton County
I know of at least 10 cemeteries that
are no longer in existance for some reason
or another. The people are still
buried there as far as I know. On one the
markers were moved to another cemetery
close by, but the bodies were not moved.
It was only a very small cemetery.
