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
