*JUST IN* We have partnered with 'History in Your Own Backyard' to produce several Rush County cemetery videos. Have a look at the details on our What's New page! *ATTENTION* We are seeking individuals who have knowledge of burials or cemetery plot maps for the Laughlin Cemetery in Rushville. This cemetery is located at the dead end of South Jackson Street on the west side of the road. It is also known as the Lower or Old Town Cemetery. If you have any information, or know of someone who might, please contact us at rcgsociety@gmail.com, and thanks for your help!
