    1. [IL-CIVIL-WAR] Grave Stone Replacement
    2. Craig Ayler
    3. Hello; I've just returned from a Genealogy search in DeWitt county in Illinois. One of the reasons for going there was to find the stone of Pvt Riley Aler, Co E, 20Th Ill Inf. I have a document that states that he was buried in DeWitt Cemetery in DeWitt Illinois. Having walked through the grounds, I spoke with the grounds keeper and he informed me that a number of years ago there was alot of vandalism. Apparently my GG Uncle fell victim. I was told by a local Civil War buff that I could order another stone for replacement. Does anyone know who I might contact for this? Also, during my search I ran across a grave marker of Pvt Abner McNier, Co G, 107Th Ill Inf. The marker only reads " Abner McNier, Co G 107 Ill Inf". Apparently he died at Woodsonville, Kentucky, July 13, 1863. If anyone knows this soldier, I would be happy to send the picture. Craig Ayler Aurora, CO Craig.Ayler@worldnet.att.net
