I found this at the library today.
From "Cemeteries of Martin County, Indiana", Compiled by The
Martin County
Historical Society, Inc., 1963-1971, Volume III, page 325:
Springhill Cemetery, Shoals, (Martin Co.) Indiana
Martz: Frank Died Aug. 29, 1876 - age 51 - Born in Paris, France
Martz: Mary S. Died Jan. 17, 1870 - age 41 - Born in Paris, France
The best person to contact in Martin County that I know of would be Nancy
Baker at nbaker(a)dmrtc.net . I don't know what, if any, official position
she may hold, but if the question is Martin County history, she usually has
the answer. If she can't help you personally, I'm sure she can point you in
the right direction.

UEB,
Thanks, that also fits in with where they said some of the sale items came
from. Do we have any one on the list that would be familiar with
cemeteries in Martin county?
