SHILOH PIONEER CEMETERY INDEX

FORWARD

This listing of Shiloh Cemetery was done in 2001-2002 by Sharon Himsel, MaryAlice Parks and Jane Nelson and is an updating of the last listing done in 1980. An earlier listing, which was done by George Wilson in 1929, has also been used to verify that all graves are included to the best of our knowledge. We also have consulted records from the Dubois County Courthouse and Jasper Courier newspaper clippings to list persons believed to be buried here but who have no stone visible.

The previous listing and map of Shiloh Cemetery were made in the summer of 1980 by Eugene "Butch" and Eleanor Gutzweiler, Natalie Montgomery Baker and Lillian Doane. The stones in the cemetery are placed very irregularly in many cases, and the map shows the rows somewhat straighter in order to conserve space in the making of the map. The locations are as descriptive as possible, while still maintaining a uniform mapping of stones.

The new cemetery addition was laid out in 2000 by Kenneth Brosmer (surveyor) and Delbert Himsel, Jr. New requirements and technology have necessitated a numbering system that is not entirely compatible with the old section of the cemetery. We are sure, however, that you will be able to find your loved ones. Just ask for help if you need it.
