- I have sent queries around to find out exactly where Old Sulphur is located.
29 Jan. 1997
From Cledia Bertke, 812-547-5719 and Geneva Johnson, 812-843-5823
1. the Buckeye School was located on what is now the Floyd
Draper hog farm. North of Oriole, Perry Co. IN.
2. The near by Cemetery was known as the "Old Beard Cemetery" and Cledia's Aunt Polly Beard is buried there. No Stone for Jonas or Andrew Beard.
This info makes me think that the Andy Beard Cemetery. we are looking for is now known as the Story Cemetery. Ref. Perry Co. Tombstone Inscriptions Vol. III, Patmore- Manley. Richard Lee King Sr. Story Cem. located Sec 2 T4S R1W Oil Twp
