I visited Union County, IN during Oct 2006. The Snowden Cemetery is in very poor shape.
Fortunately, the headstones were photographed 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 Bland's 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 probable 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.
