In this episode of The Bicentennial Journal, Scott Emery, a volunteer with the Monroe County History Center Cemetery Committee, tells the story of the Blair Cemetery, in Van Buren Township. The cemetery consists of one headstone, that of one-year old Carlyle Blair, son of Marion and Hester Blair. Marion Blair was a well regarded artist who painted a portrait of Abraham Lincoln’s body.
Support for The Bicentennial Journal and WFHB comes from Monroe County and Visit Bloomington. More information about Monroe County’s Bicentennial is available on their website.
The Bicentennial Journal is produced by Kate Welch, with help from Joyce Polling and Julie Thomas. Executive Producer is WFHB News Director Wes Martin.
