Poison Creek Cemetery

I am searching for information on what was known as Poison Creek Cemetery (around Rome, Perry County, Indiana).  I have now found 2 death certificates of Bryant’s listing one as buried at Poison Creek another as Formerly Poison Creek Cemetery.

The closes I have come is the Bryant Cemetery which has the following description;

Bryant Cemetery is located just outside of Derby, Indiana in Perry County. 
To get to the cemetery, you take a little gravel road off of Thrifty Road, just past the old metal bridge that goes across Poison Creek.

Would anyone know if this would be same?

Thanks, Riley  

School year books

Connie writes

I would like to find Bristow Grades School year books and Perry Central year books from 1950-60’s. Any? Idea where to start? Thx

Answer; Perry Central did not open until 1966, Bristow High school consolidated with Oil Township and then Perry Central when it opened.

One place that I know for a large amount of the Bristow Class pictures are in the Tell City Library Genealogy department.  The Book is called Bristow 125 years.

I plan on adding more class pictures to this website beginning this summer from the collection that I have accumulated.
