to Johnson County, Indiana in 1823, building his cabin on the
knoll where the Brockman Cemetery is now located. He buried
his son Richard here in 1824. The Jolity Church was organized
here in 1828. The Cemetery is a dedicated tract, supported by the
interest on an endowment plus donations, controlled by a board.
Tandy Brockman, son of Samuel and Nancy Durrett Brockman,
was a native of Virginia and grew to manhood in Kentucky, having
been taken to the latter state when but four years old. He married
Martha Shipp and moved to Shelby County, Indiana, settling in the
woods and for some time lived the life of a rugged pioneer. Mrs.
Brockman died at the age of sixty four. Tandy died at the age of
seventy two in Edinburg, Indiana. He is buried there. Tandy was
a Methodist, Protestant, temperance, Whig. In clearing ground he
injured his leg severely and later developed blood poisoning. He
was taken to the then nearest hospital at Madison in Jefferson County,
Indiana, where the leg was amputated. He used an artificial leg or
peg and returned home to clear land for school. He was supposed
to help with founding the Jollity M.P. church. Also started the Brockman
graveyard which is still in use and cared for today. Charles Smith, son
of Caroline Brockman, says that shortly after coming to Indiana the two
young sons of Tandy and Martha Brockman died of something like
malaria or one of the fevers so prevalent in those days. The elder
Brockman then set aside a portion of land to be used as a cemetery."

The Jollity Church was organized here in 1828. This is a dedicated tract,
supported by the interest on an endowment plus donations, controlled by

Pruitt. Markers from the Pruitt cemetery were brought here in 1972."
