Dear Sharon,
The Church is gone, not the cemetery. If someone is going to do
research on a Church connected to a cemetery they will need
to know more about the Church.
I think Rich had the right idea. In order to find more about some people
or places you have to find a collections of personal papers to dig into.
Collections sometimes are at Church archives and sometimes in libraries.
Could anyone like to share anything stories about personal papers?
L.A.

This is what I have for that name.
MOUNT HOPE S5 T22N
R1W
40°23'13"N 86°33'08"W
The cemetery is on the south side of CR700N, between CR250W and CR300W.
From US421/SR39, go east on CR700N for 1.8 mile. From SR75, go west on
CR700N for 1.5 mile.
Another place to check would be topographic maps. Sometimes they show
cemeteries, even without names. They usually don't remove a cemetery even
though that cemetery was moved (usually for a lake) or had disappeared.
Beware of names, though. Sometimes the map has the wrong name, and often no
name at all.
