I visted Union County, IN during Oct 2006. The Snowden Cemetery is in very poor shape.
Fortunately, the headstones were photographyed a few years ago by Karen Coffee, a
historian in the Union County Public Library. These photo's are located in the library
through Karen. I was able to find Abraham Blands head stone. (His wife Emily was bured in
the Cox Cemetery, in Nodaway Co., MO). .There is neither physical nor written evidence of
James and Mary Snowdens death. Since they lived by the New Hope Cemetery, and in fact gave
the land, it is highly probably that they are buried there.
I travel the length of Snowden Road from just south of the cemetery to just west of west
College Corner, Indiana where the road ends at Indian Creek.
There is no record of Abram and Emily or James and Mary in the Quaker records from Earlham
College in Richmond, IN.
