remember that LOCAL CEMETERY could mean one of several and not really pertaining to a spcific cemetery... it could be that arrangements at a specific cem had not yet been made... after all, there really was no need for the cem to be named for mourners unti the day of the burial..... the next thought is to consider religion... and of the cems noted in the last days, consider which would have been logical.... you could too if the funeral home is not in business, ask at one of these cems which funeral home MIGHT have taken over the business and perhaps the records... there is nothing that forces a funeral home to KEEP records when they go out of business or forces them to give those records to anyone if they sell out... all depeneds on the individual who OWNS them in the first place and that is the funeral director... another thought....it used to be that cems had to file a record with the WAR GRAVES DEPARTMENT in SPRINGFIELD ...a state of illinois thingy.... (ask MOLLY about this... someone will give her url or number or she can contact you directly )that a soldier was being buried in their cem... and this department kept track of deceased vets... the information that can be available could be important to you since at the time of death often the person making the arrangements did know military information about the deceased... pllease pursue this... also, if you do contact the cem and you do find the right one, ask about monument information.. and ask too if they have someone who takes images at the cem for them... as a raogk..... some cems are being a little domineerng about photos being taken in their cem so be sure that you get the locaiton info AND a little map of the area for the person helping you... as they should NOT be forced to go into the office to find the person.. they should instead be able to ask a grounds person for help with the info you give to the helper... the second you go into the office and ask about someone who is not of your family, trouble could ensue.... you could too ask the next person going to a catholic arch diocese cem to enter in the name and see what comes of their data base...(wish it were on line and not only at the cemetery) anyway, get the info before you ask someone to traipse thru the woods looking for a stone... stones often have info that is NOT on the cem record... be sure to gain info from BOTH...

Yes, Molly's great to work with! Just to clarify, though, (not sure if my first email didn't go through or if it was confusing)--I checked the death certificate for James this morning and if the information there is correct, the "local cemetery" he is buried in is St. Mary's in Evergreen Park. Might be worth giving them a call . . .
