Hello, I am new to this list and just found out that my 3rd great grandfather and possibly my 3rd great grandmother died around Quincy Illinois. Their names were Abraham Jones and Eleanor Cooksey Jones. Abraham died October 23, 1888, he was in the Illinois Soldier and Sailor Home, I just recieved his civil war pension file and which gave some information on him, I haven't found out when and where his wife Eleanor died and where they buried her. Any help on finding his grave or possibley the cemetery they are buried in is appreciated. jamie
