Looking for a Surname?
Tombstone inscriptions for all cemeteries in the county have been recorded and published in six books. The good news is that each volume has a surname index. The bad news is that the index covers all the surnames in that volume, in alphabetical order (not broken down by township or cemetery).
The sixteen townships are grouped as follows, with the link to the Surname Index for that volume:
- Vol. 1 – Perry, Troy
- Vol. 2 – Cardington, Canaan
- Vol. 3 – Congress, North Bloomfield, Washington
- Vol. 4 – Westfield, Lincoln, Peru
- Vol. 5 – Bennington, Chester, Harmony, S.Bloomfield
- Vol. 6 – Gilead, Franklin
If you find your Surname, and wish details of an entry, go to our page of Lookup Volunteers TODO and send an e-mail request for a lookup to someone who has the applicable Tombstone Inscription book.
If you wish to purchase the book, go here TODO on our Genealogical Chapter Page for details on how to do that.
