Dear Scott:
Welcome to the INPCRP. The best resource I've seen to date on researching
cemetery deeds in Indiana can be found in Marlene Mattox' article,
"Researching Cemetery Land Ownership in Indiana", found in Adobe Acrobat PDF
format at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/ResearchingCemeteries.PDF
Hope this is helpful to you.
Lois

Subject: [INPCRP] Hammans-Stockwell a.k.a. Cain Cemetery
Hello ,
I have been reading postings for the past couple weeks but have
yet to
post anything myself . My nameis Scott Bush and I am from the
southside of Indianapolis ( Southport, Homecroft, Greenwood , Beech Grove )
area . I have been working with some others on a project I hope to get under
way before to long . The Hammans- Stockwell Cemetery is located in Morgan
County ,Indiana on land behind the Martinsville Country Club and has fallen
to bad state of direpair, storm damage , etc. There are graves in the
cemtery from the late 1700's. I am a genealogist by nature and think this
going to be an interesting project . This is a family cemetery with less
than 50 graves . It took me some time to run down people who knew what land
it is on . I was told that Indiana when a cemetery is sold which is on pvt.
land then a mention will be made in deed as cemeteries are considered
ownable property in the state of Indiana . When I was doing some back ground
work regarding a Rutherford!
County , Tennessee Cemetery I was told that cemeteries are not owned
there that they just exist . I am sure many others here will be more
knowledgeable than I on these matters. I have very limited cemetery work and
have spent the part part of this time in genealogical work . I thought I
would pop in and say hi .
Thanks . Scott
