Extracts from Louise McAninch Letter, Oct. 29, 1963, to Beatrice and Marjorie [4c]:

 

I went to Putnam Co. last week and to DePauw to look thru the Archives. There was nothing

there pertaining to the Pleasant Hill Church that the Archivist Miss Cammack could find except.

2 books of records. One, “Northeast Ind. Conference, Newton Circuit, l857-77” and the other,

“Pleasant Hill Comprehensive Record” 1880-90. In the last one I found one item which said the

church was organized in 1832 with 25 members. The building was completed in 1852. These

seemed to be in the right area as the Asbury church was mentioned, the others I did not know.

This may or may not be the same church. There were no McAninch in either one, I would have

thought the name would have appeared. I looked over each page carefully, and page by page.

 

 

Extracts from Louise McAninch Letter, Jan. 14, 1964, to Marjorie Waggoner [4d]:

 

“… pictures I took in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, of Isabelle’s + Polly’s head stones, also some

of the house where Elizabeth + Permelia lived, which I think must be the old McAninch home. …

The graves - at least the head stones - of Isabelle + Polly were on either side of Samuel, but

I could not tell if there was a place for Polly Skidmore or not. I poked around with an ice pick but

could find no other stones.”

 

 

Extracts from Louise McAninch Letter, Mar. 14, 1964, to Marjorie Waggoner [4e]:

 

“Am enclosing the pictures I mentioned. These were taken in the little cemetery of Pleasant Hill.

You can see the S. Mc on the foot stone of Samuel's grave. The head stone is hard to see but it

was plain enough to indicate Samuel's grave. On either side were Polly + Isabelle. The house is

the old homestead, I think, at least it was where Elizabeth + Permelia lived.”
