- Victor's middle name may be George in honor of his mother's father. It is also possible Victor's middle name is Grubbs in honor of his mother's mother, Rebecca Grubbs-Swisher. Victor's middle name may also be Grover in honor of his father's half brother. Another possibility is Girman. If so, it then could be that Girmon Lavon Drollinger was named in his memory.

South Park and South Park Annex CEMETERY
These two cemeteries are located in Columbia Township, Whitley County,
1500S State Road 205
South of Columbia City Indiana on State Road 205
South Park is owned and cared for by the Columbia Township Trustee.
South Park Annex is owned and cared for by private owners.
Although two separate cemeteries, they are adjacent to one another. Heading South from Columbia City, South Park Annex is the first with three sections and a horse shoe driveway. The first drive is at the north side of the cemetery, running East and West and separating Section C from Section B. The South driveway separates Section B from Section A. There are no roads to connect this Annex to South Park Cemetery
In talking to the manager of the Annex, he told me where the sections were and where the line is ending the Annex cemetery to the South. He said the South row of trees were the line. After working the cemetery, we find that there seems to be an old roadway between the two cemeteries so it is not as difficult as one would think. Section A, B and C go East to West back to the fence row as we read it. This has however been changed to the fence row to read Section D.
In this cemetery, the first stones and the Mausoleums started row 13. We therefore started listing stones at row 13. We personally have our stone in Section C and are in row 36. There rows do not seem to be directly across from each other completely across the cemetery. Any mistake would be our fault, but since this is the first time in several years that the stones have been recorded, and the manager only has who the lot is sold to (these may be different from who is buried in that lot.) We apologize for any problems caused.
When looking for a stone and using the information given here, at the end you will see South Park Annex B-13-16. This stands for Section B- Row 13-Stone 16.
Stone numbers will now vary due to recent burials in that row.
SOUTH PARK
This cemetery has four sections with 3 driveways. The first drive is at the north side of the cemetery, running East and West and separating Section 1 from Section 2. The middle driveway separates Section 2 from Section 3 and the South driveway is next to Smith Section. We started reading next to the Highway or the East end numbering the rows starting at Row 1
When looking for a stone and using the information given here, at the end you will see South Park 1-13-16. This stands for Section 1-Row 13- Stone 16
Stone numbers will now vary due to recent burials in that row.
Additional information and alphabetical listings to the end of 1999 for these two cemeteries, can be found in two books "The End of the Century" at the
Genealogical Society room at the Whitley County Historical Museum.
