Emeline - Inman Cemetery, 62-1 Summary Report, page 9
Cemetery in the county, and it is listed as being in Section 26 of Township 4,
Range 2 West - exactly where the “Emeline - Inman Cemetery is found.
This is a pretty good indication that the area around the cemetery must have been known as “Possum Hollow” at some time, per the Ahnentafel prepared by Rosita Sutton as shown above.
In 1840 Lazarus and Green L. Inman were enumerated among pioneers known to have lived in the southwestern part of the county. (The cemetery is also in the southwestern part of the county.)
The 1840 neighbors of Green and Lazarus Inman are people generally known to be pioneers of arsenal lands and the area immediately to the northwest of the arsenal, which became the town of Madison. While they were shown on page 157 of the 1840 census, page 160 includes listings for both Isaac Inman and James Inman. Isaac is shown as age 50 - 60, while James is listed in the 20 - 30 age bracket. That of itself strongly suggests a father and son relationship, as does the fact that they are living so close together, shown as adjacent on the last two lines of the page.
