What's With Whisler Cemetery?

For at least the last 10 years or so, the Whisler Cemetery 
on East Washington St. has been covered with brush and brambles 
so thick you couldn't work your way into it.
Last week one of our resource folks noticed some cleanup was happening,
 so we zipped right down and took this photo.
Is someone renovating the site? Who? Let's keep an eye out for more progress-YAY!

Search Union Chapel Burials

We have a cemetery readings book by Elizabeth Hague for Union Chapel Cemetery in Washington Township, but it is not searchable on our website cemetery module (11,000 names!)
But the Secretary for Union Chapel contacted us recently with a suggestion 
that we link to their website, which IS searchable.
We have done that, so go to that cemetery on our site and use the link to find your folks.

Remembering Pike Cemetery Volunteers 1996

GSMC has been fortunate in having a great group of volunteers 
ready and willing to do valuable genealogy work. 
The below list of folks did cemetery readings, data entry, 
and everything else to create our Pike Township Cemetery book in 1996.
Marion County researchers owe them a huge debt of gratitude.
Our current volunteers are following in wonderful footsteps!
