ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ON THIS PATRIOT
I'D APPRECIATE HEARING FROM YOU.Stephen D Franklin

Directions: Old Pleasant Cemetery Bethlehem Cemetery

FYI - The Plaskett's can be found in the Bethlehem Cemetery. So far the only FISLAR stone that I've come across in all of Indiana to date is one that is in Ross Cemetery, which is on the New Washington - Bethlehem Road on the left and can not be seen from the roadway. This stone is on the far side of the cemetery is a collage with other stone where they placed them in a displayed manor.

The pic below is the only one that I have located:
I'll try to get a better lighted picture of this brown stone soon. Unfortuantely I just switched to a new Operating system program and it does not allow me to use my adobe program to make this photos with better details as in the past>

The Plaskett is a family name found in Bethlehem Cemetery. But if buried there there is no visible sign of Sarah's grave. ALso we witched around the stone of John Fislar, and found there to be no disturbance in the ground indicating a burial there. The lady that lives on the property for sometime now has heard two stories about the stone. (1) It was coming down or up the river on a boat and a man traded for it. (2) It was found in a barn nearby and apparently never got properly placed and that is why it is where it is as of June 2003.
