I finally finished putting 142 pictures on the Iowa Gravestone Photos Project for the Lillie Cemetery. Stacey has to approve them - then you can go there to see them. Nancee

Thanks, Nancee. I have a conference coming up next weekend. Might be next week before I get the links done. Stacey, holler when you are ready for me to add the links. I'll let this group know when the links are done. Thanks a lot!! Should be helpful for those researching interments at Lillie cemetery. (p.s. 142 photos sure does move Decatur Co. forward in bypassing Ringgold Co.!! ha, ha Keep those Decatur Co. photos coming, folks. I'm pulling for you!!!) I do have the transcription of Mt. Zion on Ringgold Co.'s site: http://iagenweb.org/ringgold/cemeteries/mtzionCMTYtranscript.html Another one of those 'laplander' cemeteries. If anyone goes out to get gravestone photos at Mt. Zion, let me know and I'll add links from the transcription page to your photographs on IA Gravestone Photo pages. You can access the transcriptions above - and anything that doesn't have a link (through the deceased's name) doesn't have a gravestone photograph, as far as I know. Another thing of interest for Mt. Zion is that there used to be (still is?) a church at this cemetery. I have a very poor photograph of it. But I'll gladly replace it with a better photograph & give you credit for it - if anyone has a better photograph. FWIW, Stacey has a standing invitation to link anything of interest for Decatur Co. from Ringgold Co.'s site. Since our ancestors didn't recognize the boundary lines between the 2 counties, we want to make sure folks find what they need in their research. Vice versa, I've done the same, such as Decatur Co.'s history of the Catholic church, the Sinco family, etc. (P.S. to Jack - I still haven't found that gravestone for you at Kellerton's cemetery. I'll keep looking, though. It's a big cemetery. Anyone going through Maple Row at Kellerton - the gravestone we are looking for is Jane (Bennett) Sinco's. My plat numbers are off and what I do have doesn't list the plot at times.) Sharon R.

Links to obituaries that go with the photographs Nancee took:, Lillie Cemetery: (click on the Post-em-Note) Henry Sinco: http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=519555 Infant McDonald - infant daughter of Maley & Mary (Ferguson) McDonald added link to Maley's biography http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=519340 According to what McDonald family notes I had, George McDonald, son of Maley & Mary (Ferguson) McDonald died of wounds he received while serving in the Civil War on Sept. 25, 1865, and was supposed to be buried next to his infant sister in Lillie Cemetery. I wonder....he's not listed. Either he wasn't buried there or the gravestone is gone. George McGauhey: http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=519224 Maggie B. Buck http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=519558 Margaret A. Bathe http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=519344 I thought I had more - I've forgotten that most of the Lillie Family was buried elsewhere - Maple Row at Kellerton and Elk Chapel Cemetery. Then there's Jack's mystery - Henry interred at Lillie Cemetery & his wife Jane interred at Maple Row Cemetery. Hope these links help someone in some small way. Nice photos, Nancee!!
