Sometimes you find something really cool at the library and sometimes you just don't. I think these are "don't" visits.
I have ordered 3 microfilms from Family Search. I am waiting and not very patiently (Patient doesn't go with my red hair. And btw, never pray for patience, I did that I few times and then wound up in the grocery lines from hell!)
The 3 microfilms I ordered:
Cemeteries of Carroll County, Kentucky
Marriage and death notices from Switzerland County, Indiana newspaper
Marriage records of Switzerland County
This started out as looking for Griffith and Huckleberry however the Lewis and Leachman families were in Carroll County, Kentucky and I just figured out my husband's Brooks family was in or near Carroll County.
Meanwhile I found a few things ....
Switzerland County Will Records
Lavina J. Griffith will dated 12/28/1893 received 5/21/1895
sons Nelson Griffith and Thomas Griffith both deceased
Thomas Sigmon will dated 10/31/1882 Received 2/5/1883
wife Rachel Sigmon, daughters Elizabeth Sigmon, Ann Eliza Protsman and Antoinette Protsman
Mount Zion Cemetery, Craig Township
William (1824 - 1888) and Lorinda (1823-1902) Brindley
(So let's assume if it says Lorinda on the headstone that is her name and not Lucinda.)
Same cemetery
Mary Malissa Madary wife of George D and only daughter of Wm and L. Brindley d 8/1/1887 aged 22 y 10 m 27 d
Eight Huckleberry (various spellings) marriages in Clark County, Indiana from 1891 to 1901. So then are the Clark County ones related to my Switzerland County Huckleberrys? Which at the moment consists of 2 people, Adeline, my great great grandmother and her sister Lorinda (not Lucinda.)
Sevier County Tennessee cemeteries

Swiss Settlement of Switzerland County Indiana
In 1870 Joshua Griffith was elected County Treasurer for 2 years from 9/1/1871.
In 1874 Francis M. Griffith was elected County Treasurer for 2 years from 9/1/1875
Wonder if this is the same person as the Hon. F. M. Griffith pictured in Pauline's scrapbook?
