The Slayback's had a large brick home in Sheffield Township that appeared in the 1878 Tippecanoe County Atlas.  At the time this page was created, the Slayback home was for sale.  Pictures of the home will be appearing shortly in the "Residences" section of this web site.

Francis
son of
A & M Crouch
died
Sept 11, 1839
Aged 2 y 8 m & 18 d

I believe Francis is the son of Andrew and Margaret Crouch and some relation to Mary Crouch, pictured below, wife of Levi Crouch.

Behind and to the left of Francis's stone is the stone of Edward Ford.  Edward died November 8, 1833 at the age of 104.  Mary and Sarah, sisters and assumed descendants of Edward, later married Andrew Crouch, who is some assumed relation to the Andrew Crouch who was the father of Francis and Rachel pictured here.

Rachel

A & M Crouch
died
[stone broken] 1844
(this stone was not listed on a cemetery transcription done in October 2000 by Carol
Frantz and Jacque Isbell)

Rachel is almost certainly the sister of Francis, pictured above.

Mary
wife of
Levi Crouch
Died
July 26, 1857
Aged 46 Y 5 M

Levi Crouch does not appear to be buried in this cemetery.

I am no relation to Mary, but thought the stone was very beautiful.  There was an inscription on the bottom of this side of the stone and it is pictured in larger detail below.

Julien

Alexander
Julien

1817-1878
Martha
His Wife

1821-1910

I believe these are the parents of Pleasant (wife of Benjamin Platt) and Willard (pictured below) Julien.

Willard Julien
Born Aug 18, 1864
Died Feb 28, 1867

This stone is to the right of Benjamin Platt's stone.  I believe he is the brother of Benjamin's wife, Pleasant.  There is a gap between Willard and Benjamin's stones and I think Pleasant may be buried there.

Platt

Benjamin C. Platt
Born Feb. 1, 1841
Died May 26, 1867
Aged 26 Yrs. 1 Mo. 26 Days

Benjamin was the brother of George, below, and son of William and Sarah Platt who are said to be buried in Wyandotte Cemetery in unmarked graves.
In the upper lefthand corner of this photograph you can see George Hardwick's stone laying on the ground.
