History of Delaware County

Delaware County is located sixty miles northeast of Indianapolis and is bounded by Grant and Blackford Counties on the north, Jay and Randolph Counties on the east, Henry County on the south and Madison County on the west. Since its organization in 1827, Delaware County has grown from a small Indian village to an important manufacturing center.Delaware County was named for the Delaware Indians, an Eastern tribe which was slowly pushed into Ohio and finally settled in east central Indiana during the 1770's. The Delaware Indians established several towns along the White River, among these Muncietown, near present day Muncie. In 1818, under the Treaty of St. Mary's Ohio the Delawares ceded their holdings in Indiana to the United States government and moved westward. In 1820, Delaware County was opened for settlement.

Beech Grove Cemetery

Beech Grove Cemetery is located in Muncie, Indiana. A municipal facility Beech Grove is supported by a combination of private and public dollars. The Cemetery is governed by a Board of Directors, appointed by the Muncie City Council. The current Superintendent is Mr. Tom Schnuck who has served since 1995.
I have several Langdon family members buried in Beech Grove Cemetery and the staff is very helpful in getting the information to me regarding the records. It is a very old cemetery and well maintained.
