Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Carter Cemetery in Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana.
GPS COORDINATES: 39.2439003, -85.9419022
This cemetery has just under 250 interments and looked like it was still an active cemetery. It is located in the split of US 31N/S between Columbus and Edinburgh. It is known as Carter Cemeteries, Carter's Chapel Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and Carter Chapel Cemetery, though the companion cemetery, which is the older portion located across the road, is signed as being Carter Chapel Cemetery. We also visited there on the same day.
While doing the research for this cemetery, I noticed that the listing on Find-A-Grave combines the two cemeteries, so keep this in mind while doing your own research.

He was married to May H. Green, whose name is listed below his.
Born: December 23, 1876
Died: unknonwn
May doesn't have a death date listed on her stone, so I assume that she likely remarried and is buried elsewhere.
Next to the headstone is this eagle shield with Walter's name at the bottom and the following acronym: "IMP. O.R.M." above the eagle and "T.O.T.E." on the shield on the eagle's chest. Walter was a member of the Improved Order of the Red Men, an organization which can traces its roots back to 1765, though they changed the name to the one shown here in 1834. You can read more about them here. T.O.T.E stands for Totem of the Eagle. I am not sure what this refers to, thought somewhere someone decided it was a password to gain entry to a lodge. I highly doubt that, because it seems weird that they would put their password on a grave marker. But maybe that's just me.

He was married four times. His first wife was Melvina Jones Mounts (1833-1853). They were married on March 16, 1851. She was the niece of Judge Williams Jones. She is buried across the road in Carter Chapel Cemetery.
His second wife was Rebecca Reed Mounts (1835-1855). They were married in 1854, but passed away just a few months after they were married. She is buried across the road at Carter Chapel Cemetery.
His third wife was named Mary Ann Akers Mounts (1835-1876). They were married in 1855 and she is buried across the road in Carter Chapel Cemetery.
His last wife was Elizabeth Hunt Mounts (1829-1907) and they were married in 1878. She is listed below him on the headstone at Carter Cemetery.
I don't have the names of any of her family.
He had many children:
Infant Son Mounts (1855-1855) - buried in Carter Chapel Cemetery, Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana
Maria Elizabeth Mounts (1856-1860) - buried in Carter Chapel Cemetery, Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana
Infant Son Mounts (1858-1858) - buried in Carter Chapel Cemetery, Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana
Thomas Jefferson Mounts (1860-1925) - buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana
Anna Eliza Mounts Caster Singer (1862-1946) - buried in Acton Cemetery, Acton, Marion County, Indiana
Joseph Grant Mounts (1864-1955) - buried in Columbus City Cemetery, Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana
George Sylvester Mounts (1868-1961) - buried in Rest Haven Cemetery, Edinburgh, Johnson County, Indian
An article in the Columbus Herald dated June 12, 1890, state that James Mounts and his family live on the Johnson County premium farm. I am not sure what that means, other than maybe it refers to the fact that the home was stately and was situated on 320 acres. It also says near the end of the article that they 'are delighted with the change and would not move back to the "Brown edge of Bartholomew".' I am not sure what this means, either.

This stone is a bit of a mystery. I can find no Walter's (last name) buried in this cemetery and the only Water (first name) that is buried here is Walter Green. This stone is no where near his stone and there was not a similar stone for his wife, May (who may not be buried in this cemetery anyway).

I hope that you have enjoyed your walk through Carter Cemetery in Bartholomew County, Indiana.
Visit the listing at Find-A-Grave. Be aware that the Find-A-Grave listing combines Carter Cemetery and Carter's Chapel Cemetery. I am doing them in two separate entries as they are two separate cemeteries.
