SILVER ISLAND CEMETERY, FOUNTAIN COUNTY, INDIANA - TOMBSTONE 
TRANSCRIPTION
 
Contributed by Joni Capuano Fortier (joni4ta@yahoo.com)

This is NOT a full/complete cemetery transcription!!!

Silver Island is a relatively small cemetery. It is backed by the 
Wabash River, and is fronted by farmland. There is a home to the left of the 
cemetery, about 75-100 yards away and I don't know if the family who 
owns the home also owns the cemetery land. The cemetery is however, 
completely fenced in with an iron fence, and appeared to be well cared for 
as of November 2006 when I was last there taking photos. The white sign 
at the entrance of the cemetery says, "ALL WINTER GROUND DECORATIONS TO 
BE REMOVED BY APRIL 1ST, FOR SPRING CLEAN-UP. THANK YOU! SILVER ISLAND 
CEMETERY TRUSTEES." There is also a sign welded into the front gate 
that says, "SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF OUR FIRST SETTLERS."

To get to Silver Island Cemetery, from Indiana State Road 63(IN63), go 
to Indiana State Road 234 (IN234), turn EAST. 
Bear left at SILVER ISLAND ROAD. 
The cemetery is ahead about 1.4 miles. 
GPS Coordinates are : 39.970000, -87.423000
