Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Van Slyke Cemetery in Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana. 

GPS Coordinates: 39.0275000, -86.9489000

This small cemetery is located on a hill behind what appears to be an old school, though I have seen it referred to as being a mill.  I found mention of it being the Bloomfield Woolen Mill, though it really does look like a school.  I wonder if at one time it was.  The cemetery was established with the death of Peter Van Slyke in 1834 who was laid to rest on what was known as an Indian Lookout Mound.  In fact, for a time it was known as the Van Slyke Mound.  

We stopped by this cemetery in early October, though we had some difficulty locating it at first.  It wasn't until I drove past the location that I noticed a headstone sticking out the weeds.  We quickly turned around and made our way back.  The cemetery is nestled on the knoll of a hill, surrounded by a fence and some trees.  Older photos showed a very nicely maintained cemetery, which was not the case the day that we were there.  The weeds and nettles had grown up knee high and covered our clothes in small, clingy little bits.  It was a pain to get them all off later and I am still finding them in the laundry.

What really caught my eye when we entered this cemetery was the large monument in the center, dedicated to the Van Buskirks and decorated with a lovely carved log cabin.  You can just make it out in the left side of the photo above.

At the entrance to the cemetery is a large message board with the sign shown at the right.  This is what it says,

"The History of Van Slyke Cemetery

The history stars in 1816, when Peter C. Van Slyke moved from New York State to Indiana.  Van Slyke purchased land in Greene County next to the White River.  By the year 1824 he had in his possession at least sixty-two acres of land.  He had some of his land cleared to allow settlers to stay for a season and rest on their travels to the west.

At this time the county court was located in Burlington, Indiana.  Due to a major shortage of water the area was unable to support the growing number of people.  In 1824 State legislators appointed commissioners to meet and decide where the new county sear would be located.  Van Slyke put in an offer to donate his land for the purpose of the new town.  This was the best offer that the commissioners had received.  They decided to make the land the county seat and to name it Bloomfield, after a city in New York.

Van Slyke was very active in the new community and county affairs, hence he was well known throughout the area.  When he died, the war department decided to erect a stone marker at his burial site, on top of an old Indian lookout mount which was part of the original land purchased by him.  The Van Slyke Cemetery grew up around the area where he was buried."

There are two more posters on the message board that show the burials in the cemetery.  The list is below:

Our first stop is at the grave of Margaret VanSlyke Inman Bryan.

Born: July 23, 1815

Died: March 17, 1878

She was the daughter of Cornelius Peter Van Slyke (1790-1834) and Anna Edwards Van Slyke Wines (1795-1887).  They are both buried in Van Slyke Cemetery nearby.  

She was married first to John Inman (1784-1848).  He is buried nearby in Van Slyke Cemetery.  

They had two children, but as of yet, I haven't found their names.

She was married a second time, though I haven't found his name anywhere and I don't know of any children.

~~~

Here we have one side of the large monument on the very top of the knoll.  The first name is for Anna Van Slyke Cravens.

Born: January 2, 1852

Died: October 15, 1935

She was the daughter of Henry Van Slyke (1819-1886) and Harriet Van Slyke (1822-1878).  They are both buried nearby in Van Slyke Cemetery.  

She was married to Thomas Cravens (?-?) whom I have not yet determined where he was buried.

Underneath her is Katherine Hunley Nelson.

Born: July 28, 1877

Died: October 30, 1962

She was the daughter of John Boudniot Hunley (1850-1911) and Mary Van Slyke Hunley (1854-1917).  They are both buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana.

Her husband was John Maurice Nelson (1876-1965).  They were married on December 26, 1907 at the First Congregational Church in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana and he is buried in Oakland Cemetery, Oakland, Burt County, Nebraska.  John was one of the men who was responsible for our current understanding of the properties of organic compounds.  

~~~

Another side of the monument shows more names.

The first is Harriet VanSlyke Dean Herzog.

Born: 1856

Died: 1936

She was the second wife of  Francis Simon Herzog (1836-1909) who born in Kirchheide, Germany.  He served in the Civil War in Company B of the 26th Indiana Infantry.  He was a millwright and cabinet maker.  He was a member of the I.O.O.F and was laid to rest in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana.

She did have at least one child:

Infant Herzog (1899-1899) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Next on the monument is Wilbert Dean.

Born: 1876

Died: 1939

I have found no information at all about him.

The last name on this side of the monument is for Dorothy Dean Bushfield.

Born: 1882

Died: 1961

It is possible that she was the wife of Wilbert Dean, listed above, and remarried after his death, but that is only speculation.

~~~

On the third side of the monument is the name Thomas Van Buskirk.

Born: February 16, 1861, Gosport, Monroe County, Indiana

Died: December 10, 1937

He was the son of David Campbell Van Buskirk (1826-1886) and Lucy Ann Van Buskirk Van Buskirk (1827-1866).  David Van Buskirk was very well known in the Monroe County area as he is considered a local legend.  There is even a section for him at the Monroe County History Center.  He stood nearly seven foot tall and weighed in at 300 lbs and served as a Captain in the 27th Indiana Volunteer Infantry.  According to legend, he wore out 5 horses riding to Gettysburg to deliver a message to Lincoln.  He and his first wife, Lucy, are buried in the Van Buskirk Cemetery in Monroe County, Indiana.

He had many siblings:

D.C. Van Buskirk (1850-1931) - buried in Van Buskirk Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (served in the 115th Indiana Regiment, Company C)

James Isaac Van Buskirk (1853-1936) - buried in Gosport Cemetery, Gosport, Owen County, Indiana

Isaac Van Buskirk (1854-1936) - buried in Gosport Cemetery, Gosport, Owen County, Indiana

Cynthia "Dolly" Saluda Van Buskirk Ridge (1855-1936) - buried in Gosport Cemetery, Gosport, Owen County, Indiana

John Van Buskirk (1858-1939) - buried in Van Buskirk Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana

Getty Van Buskirk Warrenburg (1865-1932) - buried in Gosport Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana

Michael Van Buskirk (1868-1872) - buried in Van Buskirk Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana

Rose Van Buskirk Fredlock (1871-1953) - buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Elkins, Randolph County, West Virginia

He was a Judge on the Greene County Circuit Court from 1918-1931.

He was married to Frances VanSlyke Van Buskirk, whose name is below his on the monument.

Born: June 5, 1867

Died: January 20, 1936

She was the daughter of Henry VanSlyke (1819-1886) and Harriet VanSlyke (1822-1878).  They are buried nearby in Van Slyke Cemetery.

I haven't found any reference to any children, though it says at the bottom of the headstone "She was a devoted wife and mother".

~~~

The final side of the monument is for Peter Cornelius Van Slyke.

Born April 5, 1766, on the Mohawk River, Schenectady, New York

Died: September 25, 1834

His father was Cornelius Van Slyke (?-?).  A Van Slyke family history states that he was captured and held prisoner for four years by the Chippewa and Potawatomi.  He was also said to have been descended from Cornelius Mey, who managed a small fur-trading post in 1623 where New York City now sits.  You can read more about him here.  I am unsure as to who his mother was or where either of them are buried.

He was a soldier in the War of 1812 and he is the reason that Bloomfield exists where it is today.  He donated the land for the new county seat of Bloomfield after it was deemed that the previous county seat of Burlington was no longer viable.

He was  married to Margaret Lighthall Van Slyke (1760-1834).   The information is a bit sketchy, but she is the closest that I can find.  Her maiden name is Van Vorst and a family history lists one of his sons-in-law as being named John VanVorst.  This seems to me to be the connection.

They had five children:

Cornelius Peter VanSlyke (1790-1834) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana (his name is listed below his father's on the headstone, though it is listed as Peter Cornelius Van Slyke)

Catherine Van Slyke Van Vorst (1793-?) - unknown

Sarah Vanslyke Shaw (1799-1842) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

James VanSlyke (1805-1854) - unknown (he was married on July 26, 1827 to Margaret Burge and later to Mary G. Stallcup and was the local sheriff for four years)

Andrew VanSlyke (?-?) - unknown

Underneath his name, is that of Cornelius P. Van Slyke.

Born: August 11, 1790, Schenectady County, New York

Died: September 27, 1834

He was the son of Peter Cornelius Van Slyke (1766-1834) and an unknown mother.  

He was married to Ann Edwards Van Slyke Townsend Wines (1795-1887) in 1816 in New York.   She is buried nearby in Van Slyke Cemetery.  

They had a few children:

Henry Vanslyke (1819-1886) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Peter C. VanSlyke (1828-1912) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana (though after further research, I can't find his name listed anywhere else)

Margaret Vanslyke Inman (1815-1878) - unknown

~~~

We now come to the grave of Charlotte E. Spainhower Edwards.

Born: 1810, North Carolina

Died: July 16, 1879, Greene County, Indiana

She was the fourth wife of Lewis Baker Edwards (1790-1878).  His name is listed on the other side of the monument at Van Slyke Cemetery.

Her obituary states that she died childless.

I haven't found any information on her family, though her obituary also states that "...she was buried on the burial ground of the family on the VanSlyke farm..."

~~~

Here we are at the grave of Lewis Baker Edwards.

Born: August 14, 1796, Long Island Sound, New York

Died: December 20, 1878, Greene County, Indiana

He was the son of Henry S. Edwards, Senior (1768-1846) and Sarah "Sally" Baker Edwards (1769-1851).  They were married in 1791 and are both buried near him in Van Slyke Cemetery.

He had several siblings:

Sally Edwards Saunders (1792-1873) - buried in Hillside Cemetery, Burnt Hills, Saratoga County, New York

Anna Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Charles Edwards (1798-1861) - buried in Hillside Cemetery, Burnt Hills. Saratoga County, New York

Henry Edwards (1802-1852) - buried in Hillside Cemetery, Burnt Hills, Saratoga County, New York

Esther Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Daniel Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Alfred Edwards (?-?) - unknown
Reuben Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Samuel Edwards (?-?) - unknown

He was married four times.  His first wife was Marcia Starr Edwards (?-1836).  They were married on September 15, 1825.  I haven't located her burial site.

They had one child:

Sarah Starr (?-?) - unknown

His second wife was Caroline Bennett Edwards (?-1845).  They were married on May 13, 1838. I am unsure as to where she is buried.

They had one child:

Francis Lewis Edwards (1839-1912) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

He married his third wife, Sarah Van Vorst Edwards (?-1856) on November 11, 1846. I'm not sure where she is buried.

They had a few children:

Caroline B. Edwards Spainhower (1847-1932) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Sarah Clementine Edwards Whitaker (1852-1882) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

John H. Edwards (1856-1874) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana (drowned in the White River)

His final marriage was the Charlotte Spainhower Edwards (1810-1879).  She is buried next to him in Van Slyke Cemetery and they share a headstone.  

They had no children.

Lewis learned the printer's trade early on in Buffalo, New York.  He moved to Ohio and owned several newspapers at one point.  After his first wife died in Ohio, he went back to New York, where he married again.  It was in 1819 that he came to Greene County.  He was one of the first school teachers in the county and was very active in the Presbyterian Church.

~~~

Here we are at the grave of Henry S. Edwards, Senior.

Born: April 24, 1768, Montauk Point, New York

Died: October 7, 1846, Greene County, Indiana

He was the son of Henry Edwards, Senior (1726-?) and Esther Edwards Hedges  (?-?).  He is said to have been born in Connecticut or possibly on Long Island where he died.  It is unlikely that we will find his burial site as it is said in family history that he died on a sea voyage to the West Indies.  After his death, Esther moved to Schenectady County with her son, Henry Junior and married a man named Stephen Hedges (?-?).  She died here many years later. 

He was married to Sarah "Sally" Baker Edwards (1769-1851) in 1791.  She is buried near him in Van Slyke Cemetery.

They had several children:

Sally Edwards Saunders (1792-1873) - buried in Hillside Cemetery, Burnt Hills, Saratoga County, New York

Anna Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Lewis Baker Edwards (1796-1878) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Charles Edwards (1798-1861) - buried in Hillside Cemetery, Burnt Hills. Saratoga County, New York

Henry Edwards (1802-1852) - buried in Hillside Cemetery, Burnt Hills, Saratoga County, New York

Esther Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Daniel Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Alfred Edwards (?-?) - unknown
Reuben Edwards (?-?) - unknown

Samuel Edwards (?-?) - unknown

~~~

Here we have the grave of John Inman.

Born: 1784

Died: June 1, 1848

He was married to Margaret VanSlyke Inman Bryan (1815-1879) on December 16, 1833.  She is buried nearby in Van Slyke Cemetery.

They had two children, but so far I haven't found their names.

I haven't been able to find out much about him.  There is a link to an Inman Family Compendium , but there was nothing listed for this cemetery, so I am not really sure of his relationship to anyone in this cemetery.

~~~

We not stop at the grave of Samuel Inman.

Born: 1795

Died: September 6, 1850

Once again, this name is linked to the Inman Family Compendium, but there isn't a listing for him there.  I haven't found any information about him so far.

~~~~

We come now to the grave of James Clement Jones.

Born: 1833

Died: October 27, 1843

He was the son of John Jones (?-?) and Margaret Jones (1811-1834).  She is buried near him in Van Slyke Cemetery and died only a year after he was born.  I am unsure as to where he is buried, but I believe it to be in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana with his second wife.  

It is interesting to note that the Cemeteries of Eastern Greene County, Indiana states that following:  

Jones, James Clement (s/o Elia and Margaret Jones, departed this life, October 27, 1843, age 10 years).  

Unfortunately, the headstone is very weathered and is hard to read, so I am not sure which name is actually shown as his father.  I did not, however, find an Elia Jones buried in Greene County.

~~~

Here is the grave of Margaret Jones.

Born: 1811

Died: April 17, 1834

She was married to John Jones (?-?), who I believe is buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana with his second wife.  

They had at least one child:

James Clement Jones (1833-1843) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana.

~~~

Here we have the grave of Henry Kelsey.

Born: August 31, 1805, New York

Died: February 6, 1842

He was the first husband of Esther Edwards Kelsey Lockwood (1804-1897).  She is buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana with her second husband.  

They had at least one child: 

Mary K. Kelsey Morrison (1839-1924) - buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana

~~~~

We now come to the grave of Stephen E. Lockwood.

Born: March 14, 1847

Died: June 1, 1847

He was the newborn son of Stephen Henry Lockwood (1813-1874) and Esther Edwards Kelsey Lockwood (1804-1897). They are both buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana.

Had he survived, he would have had a couple of siblings:

Mary K. Kelsey Morrison (1839-1924) - buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana

Caroline Lockwood Voit (1844-1933) - buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana

~~~

Here is the grave of Mary Mesort.

Born: September 11, 1873

Died: April 9, 1876

Her parents are listed as being T. Mesort (?-?) and J. Mesort (?-?).  

Her name is not shown on the burial list at the front of the cemetery, but it is listed in the 1983 index of Eastern Greene County cemeteries.  However, the headstone is very worn and hard to read so I cannot guarantee that this is her last name.  Searching has not turned up any other Mesort's anywhere.  

~~~

We not come to the grave of Carpus Shaw.

Born: February 24, 1797, Vermont

Died: February 1, 1849

He was married first to Sarah VanSlyke Shaw (1799-1842).  She is buried nearby in Van Slyke Cemetery.

They had a few children: 

Joanna Shaw Eveleigh  (1821-1903) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Carpus N. Shaw (1834/1835-1905) - buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana

He was married a second time to Adaline A. Cressey Shaw (1819-?).  I have found no further reference to her or a burial place.

They had at least one child:

Martha Shaw (1849-?) - unknown

A newspaper article states that the marriage of Sarah and Carpus was the first in Greene County (after it became a county of its own) and that there daughter may have been the first girl born in the county.

He was also noted as being a ruling elder of the First Presbyterian Church which was formed on August 9, 1823 on the VanVorst farm.  

~~~

Here is the grave of Sarah VanSlyke Shaw.

Born: 1799

Died: April 16, 1842

She was the first wife of Carpus Shaw (1797-1849).  He is buried near her in Van Slyke Cemetery.

They had a couple children: 

Joanna Shaw Eveleigh  (1821-1903) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Carpus N. Shaw (1834/1835-1905) - buried in Worthington Cemetery, Worthington, Greene County, Indiana

A newspaper article states that the marriage of Sarah and Carpus was the first in Greene County (after it became a county of its own) and that there daughter may have been the first girl born in the county.

~~~

We now come to the grave of Henry VanSlyke.

Born: August 1, 1819, New York

Died: January 29, 1886, Greene County, Indiana

He was the husband of Harriet Learned VanSlyke (1822-1878).  They were married on January 7, 1841 and she is buried near him in Van Slyke Cemetery.

They had eleven children, but I haven't found all of their names:

Anna Van Slyke Cravens (1852-1935) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Frances VanSlyke Van Buskirk (1867-1936) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

It is noted that Henry VanSlyke took his own life on January 29, 1886 by revolver, having left a note that said he was "tired of life and that this was {own} act".  He expressed a desire to be buried by the Masonic Lodge of Bloomfield.

~~~

Finally we come to the grave of Anna Edwards Van Slyke Townsend Wines.

Born: August 17, 1795

Died: 1887

She was married three times, her first husband being Cornelius Peter Van Slyke (1790-1834).  They were married in 1816 in Schenectady County, New York and left there two years later to start the long trek west to where they would eventually settle.

They had three children:

Margaret Van Slyke Inman Bryan (1815-1878) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Henry Van Slyke (1818-1886) - buried in Van Slyke Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

Peter Cornelius Van Slyke (1828-1891) - buried in Grandview Cemetery, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana

She was married the second time to Amos Townsend (?-?) on March 4, 1839.  I have found no information about him or any children.

And lastly, she was married to Martin Wines (1791-1864).  She was his second wife and they were married in 1846.  He is buried in Old Linton Cemetery, Linton, Greene County, Indiana with his first wife.  I have found no reference to any children.

~~~

There are several other graves here in Van Slyke Cemetery, but the day that we went the cemetery was very overgrown and it was hard to get through all of the briars to read any of the other graves.  I hope to make it back at some point and take a look again.

I hope you enjoyed your walk through Van Slyke Cemetery.

Visit the listing at Find-A-Grave.  

 Happy Holidays everyone!!

I hope that everyone had a safe and pleasant holiday season.  I know that things are definitely the way we'd have expected it to be, but change is necessary.  

I wanted to stop in and thank everyone who has emailed me and commented on listings on my blog.  It makes me feel good to know that I have helped people find ancestors and cemeteries they had been looking for.  

I also wanted to note that my Patreon has more or less fizzled out as I have not been able to find an affordable outlet for Patreon tier gifts.  I had planned some interested items that are art pieces from some of my cemetery and headstone photos.  Unfortunately, most of the costs are out of my range or I have been disappointed in the quality.  I hope that I can find some way to get this moving in the coming year.

I plan to incorporate some of my Our Historical Indiana blog information and highlights in the Patreon as well.  We will see what I can come up with if anyone is interested.

My cemetery backlog is large and I have lots to work on over the cold weather season, so I hope to get at least one or two more done in January.  Most of the ones that I have left are larger cemeteries that we have visited and I have lots of photos.  I may break up some of the really large ones into two different posts, but I haven't decided yet.

I hope that everyone has a pleasant new year.

Thanks!

 Good Morning All!

I wanted to make a quick stop in and let everyone know that my sister blog, Towns Gone By, has had a name change.  I have decided that I wanted to expand the focus on it a bit and add in some more history, therefore I have changed the name and the link address.  You can find it on the side or link to it at 

Our Historical Indiana

Thanks for sticking around everyone!

 Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at the tiny little Marr Cemetery in Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana.

GPS Coordinates: 39.2591340, -85.9410370

This tiny little cemetery, established in 1832,  is located in the parking lot of the New Hope Christian Church and less than a hundred yards from the New Hope Cemetery.  It was rather a surprise to stumble upon it as we were headed toward the New Hope Cemetery and noticed it when we parked.

There are four headstones located within the iron fence with a base stone for one more.  These are the ancestors of the owners of the Marr House and farm located in Bartholomew County.  In fact, this cemetery, and subsequently the church and larger cemetery a few yards away are located on what was the southeastern corner of the Marr farm.

~~~

Our first stop is at the grave of James Marr.

Born: November 2, 1799, Kentucky

Thanks for joining me for our walk through Marr Cemetery.

Visit the listing at Find-A-Grave.

Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Edwards Cemetery in Greene County, Indiana.

GPS Coordinates: 39.0918600, -86.7006710

This is a small, active cemetery located off of Chapel Road in Greene County, Indiana.  It is fenced and situated right next to a railroad, which curved and ran just in front of a very large, old house next door.  That house was listed for sale the day that we were there and looked like it hadn't been lived in for a very long time.  The windows were boarded up, but there were cars there looking at it.  It was probably built sometime in the late 19th century.  The cemetery itself was established in 1834, with the burial of James Edwards on May 29, 1834.  He was less than two years old.

Our first stop is at the grave of Robert Bland.
Born: unknown
Died: unknown

He was the son of Grace Bland (?-?) and Harry Bland (?-?).  There is a Grace Bland buried nearby, but she is not listed as having been married to Harry.  I am not sure if this is the right Grace or not.  I haven't found out where Harry is buried, either.

Here we have the grave of Larry Chester Bond.
Born: October 2, 1940
Died: August 10, 1985

I normally wouldn't take pictures of a newer grave like this out of respect for the family, but it really caught my attention.  At the bottom of the headstone it says 'Special Agent of the FBI Mar 1966 - Aug 1985'.  By the date of his service in the FBI and the date of his death, it almost looks like he died on the job, but I am not sure.  I haven't found anything about him.

I am not going to list anything about his wife or children, since this is far newer.

~~~

We now come to the grave of James Addison Burch.
Born: August 24, 1913
Died: September 22, 1913

He was only a month old when he died and there is no information on his family.  He is the only Burch buried in Edwards Cemetery.  There is a Burch Cemetery in Monroe County, though I am not sure of any connection.

Here we have the grave of Laodicia "Dicy" Burch Edwards.
Born: March 12, 1814
Died: January 6, 1889

She was the daughter of James Phillip Burch (1777-1855) and Sarah "Sally" Gillespie Burch (1779-1869). They were married on June 1, 1801 (though I have also found the date of 1809) in Surry County, North Carolina and came to Greene County in early 1820.  I believe that she may have been his second wife, his first wife having been Sarah Whaley Burch (1780-1801).  They were married on June 25, 1795 in Surry County, North Carolina, but she died in 1801.  He was a farmer and they were both buried in Burch Cemetery #2, Solsberry, Greene County, Indiana.

She had several siblings:
Barnibus Burch (1792/1795/1798-1862) - buried in Cason, Marvin Farm, Burns City, Cooke County, Texas (He was hanged in the "Great Hanging" at Gainesville, Texas; it is unlikely that he is the son of James and Sarah as James would have been 15 and Sarah would have been 13.  They weren't married until 1801 or 1809.  I believe that he is actually the son of James and his first wife, Sarah Whaley Burch (1777-1801).  They were married on June 25, 1795 in Surry County, North Carolina.)
Elijah Burch (1802-1863) - unknown

Perry Robert Edwards (1884-1971) - buried in Maple Hill Cemetery, Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa

An obituary for him states that he was employed with a railroad company when he suffered an attack of typhoid fever.  He recovered sufficiently to return home where he was well on his way to a full recovery.  Unfortunately, he ate something which perforated his digestive system and cause his untimely death.

He was also a teacher and taught in Center Beech Creek Townships as well as at Marco (I am unsure where this is).

The same obituary noted that the name of the cemetery was the Paris Edwards Cemetery.

Here is the grave of the Infant Daughter Edwards.

Died: June 15, 1857

This was the infant daughter of George Edwards (1834-1864) and Sarah "Sallie" Edwards Edwards (1833-1910).  They were married on August 14, 1856 in Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana.  She is buried in Edwards Cemetery nearby.  He, meanwhile, died in Resaca, Georgia during the Civil War.  I have not found mention of his burial place.

Had she survived, she would have had many siblings:

William Asbury Edwards (1860-1860) - unknown
Sarah Elizabeth Edwards Abrams (1861-1935) - buried in Kaysville City Cemetery, Kaysville, Davis County, Utah

I noticed that the death date for the father and the child are only about seven months apart.  It is likely that this little one was conceived right before he left for war.

Here is the grave of Rosetta M. Whaley.

Born: June 26, 1874

Died: November 24, 1884

She was the daughter of J.M. Whaley (?-?) and M.S. Whaley (?-?).  I thought at first that she could have been the daughter of James Marion Whaley but the mother's initials aren't the same.  Therefore I am not sure who her parents were.

~~~

Our final stop is at the grave of Roxy Whaley.

Born: November 1, 1895

Died: December 3, 1895

I am unsure how she is related to any of the other Whaley's buried in Edwards Cemetery.

There is a bit of a mystery at Edwards Cemetery.  Just outside of the fence near the rail cut are some stones.  Two appear to be footstones, one with the initials, A.W. and another with the initials M.E.E.  There are graves in the cemetery with these initials, so it is very possible that these were stuck outside the fence to make space for graves or even to make it easier to do the grounds keeping.  On the other hand, the way the stones are in the ground, it also looks like there are graves on the other side of the fence.  It is possible that they headstones may have been lost when the rail cut was laid, or they fell over the edge with erosion.  

The other stone, which is buried partially under dirt and what looks like a tip for landscaping rubbish.  It is hard to tell if it is another headstone or just a natural worn stone.  

I have an email in to find out any more information about it.  I hope to be able to update soon!

UPDATE:  Well, not really, because I don't have anymore information.  If anyone out there knows anything, please let me know!  I am also curious about the lovely white house that is up for sale right across the rail cut next to the cemetery.  It would lead me to believe that this house is part of the Edwards family, but maybe not.  I didn't get any information from the Historical Society or the Township Trustee.  Thanks!!
