Snooping around old newspapers for clues to John N. Poundstone brought to light a death announcement in the Logansport Journal. The article is as follows:
John N. Poundstone an old and prominent citizen of Deer Creek township, died at his home at Young America at 5 a.m. yesterday at the age of 83 years. The deceased had been a resident of Deer Creek township for forty-three years. He leaves four sons and two daughters. The funeral services will be held on Tuesday at 10 a.m. from the Presbyterian Church at Wheeling, Ind. Interment in Sharon cemetery.
John N. Poundstone obituary, Logansport Journal, Logansport, Indiana, 8 July 1900, page 5, column 3.
John's death certificate lists his burial in Sherin Cemetery, location and date not included.
Wheeling, Indiana is located in Carroll County; Deer Creek is located in Cass County - they are near one another but I cannot find the location of a Sharon Cemetery.
Several Poundstone family members have been buried in Beech Grove Cemetery in Carroll County Indiana. Several of John's children are buried in the Center United Brethren Church Cemetery in Young America, Indiana. Beware Sharon Cemetery I will find you.......
