    Man meets death fighting flames
    Linton Ind - Searchers Tuesday found the charred body of Thomas J WHEATON, 63, prominent Greene County farmer, on a farm 12 miles south west of here. His clothes became ignited while fighting a grass fire on a neighbour’s farm, causing him to go blind and rush madly into the raging fire. His screams attracted neighbours to the isolated region where he was stationed to fight the fire, but the blistering heat precluded immediate efforts to rescue him. It was necessary for neighbours to wait several hours for the fire to die down before they could start the search. They found the body below burned timber.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
