INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #658
"Tuley"
Welcome to Tuley
Graves, in LaPorte County, Indiana.
The Tuley Graves are
just that. Two lone graves up on a small hill on the corner of an
intersection. At one time there was a small church across the road
called Oak Chapel.
It was on the steps of
that church that Miriam E. Benedict died. She was the first settler
of LaPorte County, Indiana. See Indiana Spirit Quest # 657 - First
Lady (GC1HWE5)
James (died Feb. 18,
1837) and Martha (died April 11, 1851) Tuley were buried on a
corner of their farm which is now a blueberry
farm.
The local historical
society has shorn up the stones and created a new marker between
the olders ones.
