Happy 2019!
Let's keep our fingers crossed that this is a good year for all.
This year promises a chance to get to more cemeteries and go more places.
To go along with these cemeteries trips, I hope to add more history to the places where they are located. I have started another blog, Towns Gone By, where I will chronicle the history of the towns and locales where the cemeteries are located. There is so much to know and so much to tell and I still fear that it will all be lost one day.
Check back often for updates!
Have a wonderful start to the New Year and may all of your weekends be filled with joy and happiness. And maybe a few headstones.

Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery
Posted by Amber at 6:21 AMToday's Walk Through the Tombstones is at the Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Knox County, Indiana.
GPS Coordinates: 38.6418, -87.4456
These photos for today's entry were taken by my friend Terri Talarek King and are used with her permission. She lives closer to the area and was able to stop and take some photos for me. Thank you so much for your time!

Our first stop is at the grave of Lilly Pearl Dellinger.
Born: September 2, 1882
Died: October 16, 1888
She was the young daughter of Jonas Dellinger (1820-1906) and Susan Barekman Dellinger (1846-1921). Her father is buried nearby in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Cemetery, next to his first wife, Sarah E. Dellinger (1840-1875). Her mother buried in Fairview Cemetery in Vincennes, Knox County, Indiana.
She had a few siblings:
Emma Jane Dellinger (1866-1934) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana
Edgar Dellinger (1867-1952) - buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana
Mamie S. Dellinger Grabbe (1874-1961) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana
~~~~~~~~
We now stop at the grave of John Smith.
Born: 1802
Died: May 25, 1852
I am unsure of his family connections. There are a few other Smiths buried nearby, but with the name John Smith, it is hard to find any concrete evidence pointing to any other family.
A note at the bottom of his headstone states "The death was caused by a fall from a horse which dislocated his neck."
~~~~~~~~~
Here we have a closeup of the headstone for Letitia M.F. Pea.
Born: August 15, 1851
Died: May 8, 1864
She was the daughter of William Harrison Pea (1816-1886) and Minerva R. Rodarmel Pea (1820-1889). Both are buried nearby in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery.
She had several siblings:
Mary S. Pea (1842-1858) - buried in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.
John B.H. Pea (1843-1843) - buried in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.
Phila B. Pea Cannon (1854-1934) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.
Edward R. Pea (1856-1928) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.
~~~~~~~~
Our final stop is at the grave of Ida M. Gillmore.
Born: April 2, 1876
Died: 1876
She was the infant daughter of John T. Gillmore (?-?) and Angeline Gillmore (?-?). I have not yet been able to find where they are buried or if she had any siblings.
~~~~~~~~
I hope that you have enjoyed your quick walk through Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

Friendship Cemetery
Posted by Amber at 12:13 PMToday's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Friendship Cemetery in Brown County, Indiana, though it is also listed as being in Monroe County, Indiana.
GPS Coordinates: 39.12231, -86.39762
This cemetery was rather difficult to get to, but we made it there on this cloudy, fall day. I recommend for anyone that wants to head out to this location to be aware that it is near Northfork Wildlife Refuge/Stillwater Marsh and the roads are prone to flooding as the water's edge does come right up to the road. The day that we were there it was dry and partly cloudy, so we didn't have to worry about it, but there were signs noting that the roads could flood. The roads are gravel and very narrow and rutted in some places. Just past the cemetery, on our way to another location, we found that the roads were far too steep to make it up, so we had to perform a rather tedious and time consuming turn around to get back out.

Born: October 31, 1818, Pennsylvania (or maybe New York)
Died: June 27, 1896, Indiana
He was the son of Josiah Bartlett (1767-1856) and Anna Latham Bartlett (1776-1832). He was born in Connecticut and she was from Vermont, but they are both buried in New Haven Cemetery in Hamilton County, Ohio.
He had a few siblings:
Latham S. Bartlett (1799-1862) - buried in New Haven Cemetery, Hamilton County, Ohio
William H. Bartlett (1806-1884) - buried in New Haven Cemetery, Hamilton County, Ohio
David Bartlett (1808-1870) - buried in New Haven Cemetery, Hamilton County, Ohio
He was married to Lydia Waldren Bartlett (1827-1903). Her grave is pictured here. According to her obituary she died at her home from a complication of diseases. It also lists that she was the mother of four children, assuming that this only is mentioning the living ones. I also believe that Amasa/Anaca Bartlett (whose headstone says A. Bartlett) is actually George America Amsey Bartlett and he probably went by Amsey in life.
They had several children:
Matilda A. Bartlett Payne (1850-1922) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Lucy E. Bartlett (1852-1908) - burial unknown
Amasa/Anaca Bartlett (1855-1934) - buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Travis County, Texas
Sarah A. Bartlett (1857-1864) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
George America Amsey Bartlett (1865-?) - burial unknown, though I believe that this may actually be Amasa/Anaca Bartlett.
William Henry Bartlett (1866-1942) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
~~~~~~
Born: February 15, 1909, Monroe County, Indiana
Died: April 17, 1909, Monroe County, Indiana
He was the infant son of Charles A. Brock (1884-1958) and Florence A. Stevens Brock (1886-1930). They are both buried in Knightridge Cemetery in Monroe County, Indiana.
He would have had at least one sibling has he survived:
Velma Mae Brock Stump (1921-2004) - buried in Oaklawn Cemetery, Wabash County, Indiana
~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have the grave of Hannah H. Vint Butcher.
Born: September 23, 1862, Monroe County, Indiana
Died: April 23, 1886, Monroe County, Indiana
She was the daughter of John Thomas Vint (1816-1904) and Lucy Ann Wagaman Vint (1824-1900). They are both buried in Friendship Cemetery nearby, but their graves are marked with simple unadorned field stones. According to John's obituary dated January 19, 1904 in the Bloomington Evening World, he was a pioneer of the county having been born in Kentucky. He was a farmer in life and had lived in Monroe County most of his life. His funeral was held at Friendship Church in Salt Creek Township. Her obituary, dated February 20, 1900, states that she died of pneumonia at her home eight miles southeast of the city. Her funeral was held at the Friendship Church as well.
She had many siblings:
Mary L. Vint Elgar (1847-1932) - buried in Mount Gilead Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Joshua Devine "Vine" Vint (1848-1912) - buried in Mount Gilead Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Sarah J. Vint (1851-1858) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Cynthia E. Shields Vint Alexander (1854-1936) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana

Amanda Lucy Vint Shields (1860-1941) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Florance L. Vint (1865-1883) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.
She was the wife of William A Butcher (1860-1922). They were married on September 19, 1880. He is buried in Clear Creek Cemetery with his second wife, Mary J. Butcher.
She died of consumption (tuberculosis) at the age of 23. There were no children born to them.
~~~~~~~~~
Born: June 14, 1890
Died: July 23, 1891
He was the infant son of Jasper Newton Butcher (1852-1917) and Martha Jane Hancock Butcher (1856-1934). He was buried in Knightridge Cemetery, but she was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, both in Monroe County, Indiana. Her name shares a headstone with her daughter Maude.
Had he survived, he would have had several siblings:
Mary Jane Butcher Brinegar (1880-1960) - buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Ola G. Butcher Brown (1883-1950) - buried in Beech Grove Cemetery, Lawrence County, Indiana
Agnes M. Butcher Watson (1884-1976) - buried in Clear Creek Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana

~~~~~~~
Now we stop at the grave of Abraham Chestnut.
Born: May 26, 1820, Kentucky
Died: February 14, 1905, Monroe County, Indiana
I am unsure as to who his parents were or the names of any siblings.
He was married to Hylie Ann Hudlin Chestnut (1832-1917). Her name is shown below his on the headstone.
She was the daughter of David Hudlin (1795-1828), North Carolina, and Mary Mock Hudlin (1796-1899), North Carolina. I have no information on where they are buried.
Abraham and Hylie had twelve children that I have found reference to:
Mary Jane Chestnut Peterson (1851-1921) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Benjamin A. Chestnut (1851-1934) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (he died from being struck by an automobile)
George W. Chestnut (1855-1856) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
C. Florence Chestnut (1856-1857) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
William T. Chestnut (1858-1863) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Martha Alice Chestnut Shaw (1860-1942) - buried in Deckard Cemetery, Brown County, Indiana
Nancy Isabelle Chestnut Crouch (1861-1931) - buried in Hadley Friends Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
Nancy Isabelle Chestnut Crouch (1861-1931) - buried in Hadley Friends Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
John Obe Chestnut (1864-1866) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Clara Chestnut (1866-1866) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (her name is listed below her parents)
James M. Chestnut (1867-1937) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Ida May Chestnut Bender (1869-1941) - buried in Clear Creek Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Edward Chestnut (1871-1871) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (his name is listed below his parents)
Edgar Chestnut (1871-1871) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (possibly the same as Edward, maybe a middle name)
Edward Chestnut (1871-1871) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (his name is listed below his parents)
Edgar Chestnut (1871-1871) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (possibly the same as Edward, maybe a middle name)
David Samuel Chestnut (1875-1961) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
These stones are in line with the MOTHER and FATHER stones. Edgar contradicts the name on the headstone which should be Edward but actually says EDWAD.

Here we have the field stone for Abby Chestnut.
Born: June 6, 1880
Died: November 11, 1881
She was the infant daughter of Benjamin A. Chestnut (1851-1934) and Sarah Alice Stephenson Burns (1855-1936). They were married in 1876 and it was possible that she married again even though she passed away only two years after her husband. He died rather suddenly when he walked in front of a vehicle and is buried nearby in Friendship Cemetery. His wife is buried in Mount Lebanon Cemetery in St. Louis County, Missouri.
She had several siblings:
Lee Chestnut (?-1984) - buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Clermont County, Ohio

~~~~~~~~~
We now come to the graves of two of the Parnell children.
First name is Alice V. Parnell.

Died: July 31, 1876
The next name is that of Anna Parnell.
Born: February 17, 1875
Died: February 26, 1875
They are both the young daughters of James R. Parnell (1845-1918) and Rebecca Hanson Parnell (1844-1929). He served in the Civil War in the 117th Regiment, Indiana Infantry for 6 months from 1863-1864. They are both buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.

~~~~~~~~
Here we have the grave of James R. Payne.
Born: August 5, 1810, Rowan County, North Carolina
Died: January 13, 1874, Indiana
I am unsure as to who his parents were or whether or not he had any siblings.
He was married to Vianna "Anna" Phelps/Phillips Payne (1811-1876). She is buried near him in Friendship Cemetery.
They had several children, eight girls and four boys, though I haven't found reference to all of them yet:
Solomon C. Payne (1830-1912) - buried in Indiana Soldiers Home Cemetery, Tippecanoe County, Indiana
Sarah Vianna Payne Huntington (1835-1933) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana

Barbara Jane Payne Huntington (?-?) - burial unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have the grave of Vianna "Anna" Phelps/Phillips Payne.
Born: August 5, 1811, Virginia
Died: April 21, 1876, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana
She was married to James R. Payne (1810-1874). He is buried next to her in Friendship Cemetery.
They had several children, eight girls and four boys, though I haven't found reference to all of them yet:
Solomon C. Payne (1830-1912) - buried in Indiana Soldiers Home Cemetery, Tippecanoe County, Indiana
Sarah Vianna Payne Huntington (1835-1933) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Louisa Kasiah Payne Wampler (1839-?) - buried in Friendship Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Francis Marion Payne (1843-1905) - buried in Knightridge Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Mary Elmira Payne Alexander (1853-1945) - buried in Riverside Cemetery, Owen County, Indiana
Barbara Jane Payne Huntington (?-?) - burial unknown
There is a note that she may have been Anna Phillips, the daughter of Conrad Phillips who is listed in "The History of Monroe, Morgan, and Brown Counties" on page 673. After comparing the information there to what I have seen from the headstones, I believe that this is correct, though I see no information pertaining to a Conrad Phillips, so I am not sure where that but of information came from.
~~~~~~~~~
Here we have a headstone noted for the Children Payne.
The first one is for Cora Payne (noted as Infant on the stone)
Born: April 4, 1882
Died: April 4, 1882

Maggie's death was a tragic one. There was an article in the Bloomington World, dated July 24, 1897. According to the article, Maggie went to a party, which was not uncommon for her, and there she met a young man whom she became greatly interested in. It is thought that he did not return her affections and this led to her being most upset. Her parents admonished her for wanting to attend the party and forbade her to go. She went anyway and returned home early in the morning. It was said that she had her breakfast, wrote some letters and then made her way to the barn. She was not found until just before noon, hanging from the beams of the barn.

There is a note that she may have been Anna Phillips, the daughter of Conrad Phillips who is listed in "The History of Monroe, Morgan, and Brown Counties" on page 673. After comparing the information there to what I have seen from the headstones, I believe that this is correct, though I see no information pertaining to a Conrad Phillips, so I am not sure where that but of information came from.

He was the son of James C. Sexton (1802-1874) and Mary Staten Sexton (1802-1897). Both are buried in Friendship Cemetery nearby, but I was unable to find any headstones for them. There are many field stones in this cemetery, some without any markings at all, so it is very possible that they were given a simple stone that has since worn away.

Maggie's death was a tragic one. There was an article in the Bloomington World, dated July 24, 1897. According to the article, Maggie went to a party, which was not uncommon for her, and there she met a young man whom she became greatly interested in. It is thought that he did not return her affections and this led to her being most upset. Her parents admonished her for wanting to attend the party and forbade her to go. She went anyway and returned home early in the morning. It was said that she had her breakfast, wrote some letters and then made her way to the barn. She was not found until just before noon, hanging from the beams of the barn.
