I've added Peckinpaugh Cemetery in Crawford Co., IN to the INPCRP Hall of
Shame. You can take a look at it at:

This site was brought to my attention by Beverly Winbolt and Dave Pickenpaugh.
They advise that the site was deeded out as a cemetery in 1859. I have not
heard from Beverly or Dave (who both live out of state) as to the status of
their inquiry with the Ohio Township Trustee about his/her willingness to take
responsibility for this site.
Beverly and Dave: Have you investigated using the County Sheriff to get this
site cleaned up? What about the Circuit Court Probation Officer? The Sheriff
can provide inmate labor and the Probation Officer can provide people working
off community service sentences. I've had some excellent results here in
Clark County using these forms of sheer manpower to tackle the heavy labor in
situations like this.
