I just stumbled across the news that the 17 to 19 people once buried in
Tucker Cemetery in Shelby County have been reinterred. The full story,
dated 10/15/1999, is on-line at

and do a search for "cemeteries".
This is the site where, last December, during the construction of a
wastewater lagoon, a dozen or so brick-lined burial vaults were accidentally
discovered. For years, local historians had believed that the family had
been buried across the road because the stones had all been pitched over
there to allow cultivation of the cemetery site.
Indiana-American Operations Superintendent Larry Tipton says the company was
going to conduct a private rededication ceremony for the remains [which may
have already been done], which were reinterred near the spot where they were
found and the company plans to erect a marker denoted the location of the
cemetery.
