Indiana historic cemetery marker

In 2001, the Indiana Historical Bureau Cemetery Heritage Initiative Program was born to: (1) reinforce the importance of cemeteries as a resource for the interpretation of Indiana's history; (2) bring attention to the existence of Indiana's remaining cemeteries with a visual reminder of their importance, and (3) assist the many individuals and groups working to preserve and maintain Indiana's cemeteries through a heightened awareness of their existence and needs.

Thanks to the initiative of Cousin Sarah Endicott Munoz of Kentucky, the Endecott-Endicott Family Association, Inc. will be participating in this important Indiana historical program to recognize the Endicott Cemetery near Poseyville, Indiana. Recently, Sarah replaced the US Flag at the Endicott Cemetery after noticing the desecrating condition of the flag that was there. Her ancestors, along with many of our other Endicott Cousins is Joseph Endicott and Rebecca Casey. This cemetery is the Joseph Endicott Family Cemetery located on Joe Seibert’s farm. Sarah is working to get the Endicott cemetery designated on the Indiana Department of Historic Preservation and Archaeology Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry. Once that designation is completed, it allows for an application for a cemetery heritage sign. If all goes according to Sarah’s plan, we may be able to unveil this important and historical cemetery marker during our 4th Endicott Cousin Reunion.
