A Walk Through our History

Recently I have become aware of a wonderful book called "Counties of Monroe, Morgan and Brown, Indiana: Historical and Biographical", edited by Charles Blanchard and published in 1884 by F.A. Battey & Co in Chicago.

This book has been an amazing resource for those buried in these counties as it includes almost everything you would ever want, and maybe even need, to know about the pioneers that settled these counties and formed them into what we know today.

You can read over a copy of it on Google Books.

Since I have been working on learning who the people are buried in these cemeteries, I have also been working on adding that information to my own copy of the book.  I have taken each township and converted it into a .doc file and added comment sections.  I felt this was a good way to circle back to those buried in the cemeteries.  I wanted to add pictures of the headstones, but this ended up being too complicated, so instead, I put in as much information as I could without overloading.

I have uploaded the finished files to my Google Drive in a public capacity for anyone to look at.
