Calendar of Events


	Proctor / Wood Farm Cemetery


	( located 1/8 mile east of Marengo, IN )

The Crawford County Historical and Genealogical Society received a $500 grant from the Indiana Genealogical Society in June, 2005, for restoration of the Proctor / Wood Cemetery. Dorothy Rice, IN Gen. Soc. South Central District Director, made the grant presentation at the June meeting of CCHGS.

CCHGS Proctor House Historical Committee Co-Chairs Bobby Wiseman and Hugh Jackson cleared a trail to the cemetery, mowed the cemetery, and put flowers on the tombstones. Bobby spoke with personnel at Marengo Monument, who said several grave markers at the cemetery could be repaired. Hugh and other CCHGS members met with District I County Commissioner Larry Bye, to request the county to construct a road to the cemetery. The road work is set for the fall of 2005.




	The cemetery includes the grave of Luke Wood, Civil War veteran. The Society plans to add a special military marker for him with a dedication at later date.




	The grant received from the Indiana Genealogical Society will be used to repair broken stones such as those above.
