Thanks Cathi - I never thought of the Recorder's? office.? The cemetery is in Clinton
County but on the line for Tipton & Hamilton.? One of the "old timers" I
spoke with told me that it was listed under Tipton County cemeteries at one time.? I think
that the Recorder's office is an avenue I want to explore in?more than one county!
Brenda?

Brenda,
Have you spoken with anyone at the Recorder's office?? I was told by the
Recorder in Clinton County that if there is no owner deed on file with the
office, it becomes the responsibility of the township trustee.?
As far as fund raising, has anyone researched to see if there are any
descendants in the county of those buried in the cemetery?? They might be
willing to help.? I have found a few for my cemetery, but they all live out of
state.? Although a few have stated that they would send me a check, I have not
heard anything more from them.?
Cathi

The cemetery is right by our church so we do keep it up.? The trustee has told
me they don't own it & our church doesn't either.? I believe that, at one
time,
there was a board for the cemetery but that no longer exists.? I know that many
stone have sunk & there are quite a few historical stones.? The earliest I have
recorded is early 1800's.? There are many Civil War, WWI, WWII vets there.? I am
trying to record the remaining stones with pictures, etc. but the task is more
daunting than I realized!? Thanks for your help - Brenda

Brenda, I cannot speak for others, but we had a huge pioneer cemetery in
Marion County, Indiana that was taken over by the township trustee, where
even the grass wasn't cut.? Many people started to bombard the trustee with
e-mails about the condition and heavily vandalized grave markers, and she
set money aside and hired a crew to restore it.? Over the next several years
the cemetery is one of the best looking abandoned ones in the state.? And I
believe it was all because of the complaints the trustee received.? It makes
a difference when you feel
like you have a voice in government.? Bob

I would be interested to know how funding for restoration is found if their
is no clear owner of the cemetery.? (ie:? Township, State, Church etc. as
owners.)?? If anyone has any ideas I would be interested.? Our "church"
cemetery seems to fall in that category.
Thanks - Brenda
