Cornelius F. Posson, of i8ra;:h, vice-president, declared that there were over 800 of Ches^ graves and that most of them were neglected. Mr. Posson, who was placed in charge of the work, is now collecting information about the location of graves and thenames of soldiers who are buried in them. People who have such information should send it to him at Brazil.This effort to reclaim and mark permanently the graves of the Revolutionary patriots xvho found their last resting place in the soil of Indiana, is certainly a worthy cause. Inreply to a letter received from this community, Mr. Posson wrote that this editorial was bringing him mail from allparts of the state, showing that the people of Indiana evidently feel a keen interest in this matter.He also stated that a list pub-fished by the government showed the following veterans of the Revolution as residing in Sullivan County in 1835:William Dougherty. Hardy Hanly, Alexander Bailey, James Spence, John Hopewell, Mathew McCammon, Robert Beedwell, Levi. Bemis, James Williams, Abraham Johnson, Thomas Flynn, Joseph Ransford, Morde-cai Battson, Joseph Nelly, Micajah Mayfield, Alexander Armstrong.Mr. Posson asks that inquiry| be made, especially among the i older residents, to find out if-. any one knows where any of these men were buried. Since Carlisle is the oldest town in the county, the graves of so/ne of them are undoubtedly in this vieinitv.In this connection, a paragraph in the “History of Sullivan and Greene Counties (1844) is interesting. It is here stated that Handy Handly, (who is probably the same as the Hardy Hanly given in the above list), a soldier of the Revolution, is buried in the Carlisle Cemetery. Handly for Hanly) is said to have been “one of the guard selected by Washington to watch and keep up the fires during the night before the Battle of Trenton, in order to j deceive the British commander as to the real movements of the Americans.Edward Purcell, another veteran and one of the huilders of old Fort Haddon, was living in Knox County in 1835, but is thought to be buried in the Carlisle Cemetery.Doubtless there are a number of Revolutionary soldiers buried in this township; and if their names and the location of their graves could be ascertained, markers would be -erected. Any one having such information, by notifying this office or writing to Mr. Posson, will not only honor these patriots, but will do the community a service as well.REAL ESTATE TRANSFERSFurnished bySchroeder PriceAbstractors Title Investigators 301)-310 Sherman Bldg.Haddon twp.Wm.
