Subject: [INPCRP-L] Evansville Area Pioneer Cemeteries
To the Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries Restoration
Project (INPCRP) e-mail discussion group:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ms. Anne Schleper, Features Reporter for the EVANSVILLE COURIER & PRESS
[e-mail: annie(a)evansville.net], contacted Scott Satterthwaite and I this
weekend. She is working on a story about pioneer cemeteries and we will
both be talking with her this week.
She's advised us that she wants to include in her story ways interested
folks can join the effort to save pioneer cemeteries, but that she is
unaware of any such efforts taking place in the "Tri-State area" of Dubois,
Perry, Spencer, Pike, Gibson, Knox, Vanderburgh, Posey, Daviess and a little
of Martin County (Loogootee).
If any of you are working on cemetery restoration projects in that area or
if you have a comment to make to Anne that may be germane to her story,
please drop her a line at the above e-mail address.
If you write to Anne, be sure to include your full name, address, telephone
number and e-mail address in case she wants to get in touch with you.
I will be talking with her about the new legislation, our hopes for future
legislation and especially about Wilhoit Cemetery in Dubois County and
Epworth United Methodist Church Cemetery in Evansville (both of which were
destroyed) and the INPCRP Hall of Shame.
I know for a certainty that there is a lot more going on in SW Indiana, but
I don't feel equipped with enough first-hand knowledge to discuss the facts
and circumstances with her.
