Surname: HUGHART, JOHNSON
-------------------------
The cemetery index for Chesterton Cemetery published by the NW IN. Genea.
Soc. does list a Elsie HUGHART. The listing is for Elsie on page 82 of
the Index is as follows:
HUGHART, Elsie E. mother 1895-1932
Elsie is buried in section M4 of the Chesterton Cemetery. Interestingly,
nobody on either side of Elsie appears to be related. Adjacent graves are
surnames of IMHOF, KUMMER, LINDHOM, and DOYLE.
A Cleo HUGHART is also listed in Chesterton Cemetery, buried adjacent to
a Norman HUGHART. The listings for Cleo and Norman published on page 64
of the Index are as follows:
HUGHART, Cleo C. 1895-1941
HUGHART, Norman E. 1924-1948
Both Cleo and Norman are buried in section K1 of Chesterton Cemetery (east
side of cemetery). Adjacent graves are surnames WESTERGREEN, SUNDEEN, and
COLEMAN.
If your information is correct. Then Cleo is likely the husband of Elsie.
