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.
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.
