Jack,
From the experience we had with the baby remains at the Prairie City
Cemetery, I would say there is not much chance any remains will be left to
be found. However, the backyard contains three infant remains, am I
corrrect? How many burials makes a cemetery in Indiana? And less than the
number makes it a what?
I would verify if a backyard even still exists and then approach it after
that....This is one of those cases where it's difficult to say what to do,
if anything. Sometimes we can only take this so far...

Subject: [INPCRP] Opinion Subject (Burials) What do you think ?
I have been researching Death Records and in 1906 - 1907 I discovered
that
3
differint instances of childern carried full term never were able to
get
started breathing. Cause of Death; Still Born. These Babys were buried in
their respective back yards. I know the addresses in New Albany where they
were buried. NOW, the next question is, since these are human remains, are
these under present Law considered Burial sites.. NEXT question. What if
someone is digging in those yards and discover what I would call Human
Remains must they notify anyone connected with the State within 48 hrs. as
required by Law. Anyone have any ideas about this, or should I ignore
what I
read and keep my mouth SHUT ?????? I don't know if it was Legal
then or
not. Regaurdless I found the names of 7 cemeteries in these unique
records
that Ihad never heard of ?? Just Asking,
Jack E. Briles
