Unfortunately, nothing turned up. I still haven't given up on it, but ran out of time and the weather wasn't cooperating with me early yesterday morning. I will still try to find it (only when I can dedicate an entire weekend to search and pray the weather is decent) and will probably try to take on the task of finding the "Clinton Cemetery" also in that general area since I know who owns the land and the area quite well.

After my maternal grandparents sold their land around the old Dekalb area, another "cemetery" was "found" by surveyers. It is suppost to be across the road from where the old school house sat and is in state hunting land now. Dad said he heard that there are gravestones, but who know what kind of condition they are in. I will be going home this Sunday, but my little sister is graduating from high school. I will be home for Memorial Day and Dad and I plan on donning on the Deep Woods Off, jeans, and hiking boots for the sake of history. Anyone interested in knowing more about this mysterious cemetery, please email me at cy_hick@yahoo.com. > > If I have time, I may be able to check out some other cemeteries in the area for anyone also. I am currently about 90 miles away at college, but I do go home often so I can scope out cemeteries for anyone if needed (provided that I have the time). I can take pictures, but would have to charge a small fee to reimburst my costs. > > I also have access to old census records via the Iowa State University library and I have the Weldon Centennial book (1880 to 1980), so I can do some research for you. > > Thanks and take care! > > Tracie McBroom :) > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
