Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
To those interested,
Several years ago I copied the entire St.Joseph cemetery books and put them
in a binder. Even though some of the edges were burnt the names are legible
and quite adequate for research.
I have donated the book and several hundred genealogy books to my hometown
library in Washington, Daviess County, Indiana. If your in the area please
feel free to use this resource.

I'm hoping someone that might live in the area could help me. I'm searching for James Stafford who according to his death certificate is buried in Wood Cemetery in Vigo. The index does not list him at all. The family did live in the Otter Creek area. I'm hoping that his mother may be buried there as well. Does anyone know how complete these indexes are?? or in particular that cemetery?? Thanks, john

Thanks you David. I've tried that route without any success, so many of the pages are burned. The wonderful cemetery staff tried to help, but alas to much damage to the pages.

Brian,
Hopefully there will be headstones available to photograph. As I said, it's been many years since I first was shown the cemetery. Hopefully who ever moves into Mrs. Barbour's house, will keep the cemetery intact. I do worry one day it will disappear.
Thanks once again for all the work you do.

Barbara,
Records for St. Joseph Cemetery are kept at the Calvary (Catholic) Cemetery 4227 Wabash Avenue in Terre Haute, Indiana 47803. Ph: 812-232-8404 Some time back and I'm not sure when, there was a fire in the office building that stored the interred records for Woodlawn and St. Joseph Cemeteries. Many or some of the records were fire and water damaged. I made a trip to Terre Haute recently and made a visit to St. Joseph Cemetery. I'm not sure if I saw any grave stones in section D and A or not. However, the other sections in St. Joseph had a lot of grave stones. Many were hard to read because they were made of cement/limestone and I noticed that grass had grown over a lot of them. Hope this helps to answer your question.

I am looking for William and Warren Bright. I have an obit supplied by the Vigo County Public Library on Benjamin Oscar Bright who died Sept. 1941 that lists these two brothers. They lived in Terre Haute at the time of Benjamin's death. They are the sons of Joseph and Sarah (Grimes) Bright from Wilson County, TN and Caldwell County, KY.
I have quite a bit of information on this family but do not know what happened to these two.
Does anyone know them?

Although it's now overgrown, Barbour Cemetery in Fayette Township is one of those cemeteries which may disappear. My third great grandparents, Frederick and Margaret Miller are buried there. At one time, they did have headstones. When the weather does away with all the greenery, would you be willing to photograph this cemetery? The cemetery is on property owned by the Barbour family.
Hi Mary,
Thanks for the info. There is a road on the south side of Terre Haute called Woodsmall Road, runs East and West. My maiden name was Woodsmall and I have driven down Woodsmall Rd to the intersection of McDaniel Rd. My cousin and I have had our picture taken at the intersection. My Aunt Edith Ring Woodsmall was the one who told me about the tombstones being buried under the barn. Since most of my immediate family was in Sullivan Co. I am more familiar with that area. My Grandmother was Zora McDaniel Woodsmall. She had three brothers, John, Walker and Porter. Her sisters were Alice (married William Myers), Zona (married a Dix and then Commodore Anderson), and Tressie (first marriage to James O'Neal, last to Romaine Ratcliff). Their father was Francis Marion McDaniel who married Zorilda Lloyd (daughter of John G. Lloyd and Mary Polly Chowning). Francis was the son of James and Phebe ? McDaniel/McDonald. James was son of Aaron McDaniel and Mary Fields. James had the f!
ollowin
g siblings: Malvina (1830), John, Hyram, Almira, Elizabeth, Albert, Samual,Mary, Joseph. Francis Marion had siblings: Sarah, Mary and Robert. Do these fit into any thing you have on McDaniel/McDonald?
When Francis Marion married Zorilda the marriage record indicates that his last name was McDonald but when he married the second time he is listed as McDaniel.

The McDaniels were related to me thru my ggg Aunt Mary Ann Higgins
McDaniel's. There is a Rev War soldier named McDaniel buried there. It is located on a
"lane" that goes west off the old Canal Road somewhere between Springhill Rd
and the first road south of there. There is a home back there and the lady
who lives there needs to be consulted about how to locate the graveyard. There
is a cemetery on the east side of the road, but, you have gone to far when
you get there.
I wish I could be more help but I now live in Georgia. For years I thought
Absalom Higgins might be buried in there because Mary Ann McDaniel was his
daughter, but I was told by family members he isn't there.

I have learned that there was a family cemetery on an old McDaniel farm on the south side of Terre Haute and when it was sold (I don't know when or which time) the people who bought it used the old stones for the foundation of their new barn. Is there anyway to find out who is buried there? Why do people do things like this? Thanks for any suggestions on locating my family!!!!

Your welcome. Without help from others, there is no research. I'm taking a break
from my own family research to do my other favorite hobby, graving. My goal is
to photo all the family cemeteries in Vigo county before they are gone, like
some of my family cemeteries up in Fort Wayne, Appleseed Park for one, which
used to be Archer cemetery. I do the large ones in between the small ones. 17
done, a little over 100 to go. :>). I started this Spring
Cemeteries completed and uploaded to Find A Grave at
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScnty=875
David Smith cemetery
Denny Cemetery
Durham Cemetery (have to upload those pics still
Evand cemetery
Fletcher cemetery (just about completed, done through the M's)
Kennedy cemetery
Liberty cemetery
Mount Olive cemetery
New Vermillion cemetery
Old Brown cemetery (aka Armstrong or Union Baptist cemetery)
Phillips cemetery
Pisgar cemetery
Prairieton cemetery (uploading pictures now)
Quaker cemetery (same grounds as Prairieton cemetery)
Shepherds cemetery ( just about done)
Steveson cemetery (aka Sparks cemetery)
Stewart cemetery
Wood cemetery (the one in Otter Creek township)
I'm in the middle of Bethesda and Hull cemeteries and I'm not the only one doing
this. There are 3 others that I know of photographing cemeteries in Vigo county
so far with a total of over 6000 pictures uploaded.
