Title	Burial place of Genl. John Tipton of U.S. Senate, Indiana
Creator	Winter, George, 1810-1876
Description	"The burial place of Genl. John Tipton of U. S. Senate-Indiana" (title from verso, written in pencil, probably in 1873) AMs, 3p. (handwritten in pencil) Tipton was a great lover of trees, and preserved many great trees on property that he owned. He donated a piece of woods, called "Spencer Square, " as well as the old graveyard, to Logansport, although the former eventually reverted to his heirs. Tipton chose his own burial spot, within Spencer Square. Others buried there include the son of Major Bell (d. 1837) and the wife of S. S. Tipton. John Tipton's grave was surrounded by a wooden fence; a planned monument was never erected. G.W. lived for some years across from the square, and a road was laid diagonally across the square, contrary to Tipton's wishes. Tipton's heirs sued to recover the property and developed it for housing, while Tipton's remains were moved to the old graveyard.
