These listings are indeed for the Old Salem Cemetery. I checked the whole listing and
that substantiated it for me. Why it is shown as Batesville Township is a mystery to me.
This is one of those cemeteries where
a lot of the families are related to one another in one way or another. The name of the
cemetery on Findagrave should be changed.
Thomas and Ruth Hutson are buried there but apparently in unmarked graves. I had the
death certificate for Thomas. The reason he is not in the 1900 census is because he died
1 Jan, 1900. He was born 1 Jan, married 1 Jan and died 1 Jan. Also he was in the Civil
War. Calvin Huston had a tintype of Thomas in uniform but would not let me copy it.
Afraid I would lose it I guess. It appears he was in Sherman's March to the Sea. From
what I have been told, his wife Ruth, was a real b---h. That is just the way it was said
to me by Calvin and she was his grandmother.
Additional info I have for the following children of Thomas and Ruth.
Bateman is married in your neck of the woods Suzy.
Conner is buried in Old Salem in Ripley County, Indiana..
Sherman is buried in Big Cedar cemetery in northern Franklin County Indiana. He was twice
married.
George is buried in West Point Cemetery in Liberty, Union County, Indiana.
Augusta Hutson Abernathy is buried in West Point Cemetery Liberty, Union County, Indiana.
I think I have obits for Sherman, George and Augusta.
There may be other info in the dark recesses of my feeble mind that might work it's
way out.
Gary
