Nancee - I just had to reply to your e-mail about all the Rauch's in Elk Cemetery. I am married to a Rauch, but a different family than is buried at Elk. My husband's family is from Missouri and Illinois. BUT, if you were at the Elk Cemetery, you had to observe all the Akers' and Ryan's buried there. All of those are my dad's family. My Grandmother and Grandfather Akers (Thomas and Clara Akers), my great grandparents (Matthew Ryan) and numerous aunts, uncles, great aunts and great uncles and a bunch of cousins are buried there. I think half of the cemetery is my family in one way or the other. My husband laughs when we go there because he says there are more Rauch tombstones than Akers or Ryan but not a one is related to him.

Wanda do you have an Elijah Bohannon Ryan in your tree? He married Malissa Ellen Mclaughlin. Thier newborn daughter is burried with her mother, Malissa. If I remember correctly, I have their wedding/engagement photo from 1885. I was wondering on Elijah's birth/death date. My grandma said that 99% of the people in Elk are related by blood or marriage...
