Rich:
As far as I know, she never wrote an article, nor did she interview me or
anybody else that I know of. Sort of like all the rest of the ones that are
going to do so much.
I've been gone, too. Have kept up with the list, but it appears that they
are all out selling T-shirts or something. Pretty quiet. I'm proud to say we
(Bob Hill & Co.) have cleaned and restored 2 more cemeteries. Not big ones,
but significant sites.
Mariah Creek has fallen by the wayside, as they all do. The State of Indiana
DHPA, DNR Law Enforcement and the So-called "Cemetery Registry" have all
dropped the ball on this one, just like so many before.
Seems like you don't hear too much about the State having anything to do
with cemetery preservation this summer. They have just kind of faded away
like the rest of them. Wonder what they ever did with all that paperwork? It
sounded good when they were collecting it. Like they were going to do so
much.
Still waiting on the C.O. to return my calls.

Hello All,
Apparently, the article hasn't run. I just dug out my letter to Ms.
Holladay and it is dated July 1st. I've been pretty busy for the past
several weeks and unable to follow up on this. Man how time flies when
you're busy!
Last I heard she was going to interview some of the Knox County folks about
what is going on down there. I wonder if this has happened yet? I sure
hate to see this one fall by the wayside. The church site is truly
important in terms of early Indiana history, not to mention the 200 or more
people still buried there in unmarked graves.
Anyway, I appreciate all who took time to look into this and answer my
query.
Very Best Regards,
Rich Green

I also check under Mariah Creek Cemetery and didn't find anything.
Mariah
is how it's pronounced; it's been spelled both ways.
