<< HYMERA, Ind. — Some Sullivan County residents object to a coal company’s
request to expand into an abandoned cemetery that is the final resting place
for about 15 Civil War veterans.
Brainer Cemetery sits on land owned by Black Beauty Coal Co. But
opponents of the company’s plan to move all of the remains interred there to
another cemetery say Evansville-based Black Beauty should put values before
profits.
The company, which wants to search for new coal reserves, has filed a
petition in Sullivan Superior Court to move the remains to nearby Nyes Chapel
Cemetery, said Jerry Banks, a member of the Sullivan County Cemetery Board.
Pimento resident Jeanne Clutter said if children were to disturb the
graves, “they would be in jail for vandalism. What right do coal companies
have to do that?”

Does Jeanne Clutter subscribe to this list? My paternal grandmother was Fanny
Clutter, and I was always told she was from Sullivan County, MO--however, on
a visit threre, no one had heard of her family. Could it have been she was
from Sullivan County, IN??? She was the daughter of Harvey Clutter and
Rebecca Jane Williams, who was half Delaware Indian.
Thank you,
