I've looked thru the cemetery books for Adams Co. and for Woodland Cem., with no luck. After looking at IRAD, I found that Moritz HEYTE had a connection with Macoupin Co. (where my family is from). Try this link and type in his name; it should give you access to info from Soldier's Home. Moritz had a son in Brighton, Macoupin Co. at the time of his death. Possibly he was returned to Macoupin for burial. The print on the records is tiny, so I couldn't read it very well. Good luck. http://www.macoupinctygenealogy.org/ Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Your info will be great to add to my folder on him. August Basse, the son, wasn't a very good man. He married my g-aunt in 1890, then by 1910 was married to another woman (I think). I found all kinds of news clippings about him with all kinds of legal problems. He moved to Colorado and opened a jewelry store, but that didn't last long and he was chased back to Qcy by the Denver police. My aunt remarried after they divorced? Evidently his brother really took over the jewelry bs in Qcy after their dad died.

I will do some digging for exact sources for you but briefly can tell you some things, my record are not where I am at the moment. August Sr., Wife Lizetta, August Jr., and Augusta came to America June 1855. They first went to Philadelphia (?, I will get the details) then traveled to and settled in Quincy Illinois. In 1856 August Sr. started a jewelry business with brother-in-law Henry Huelsmann. The business lasted many years. First August died, then Henry, then Lizette. Son August, born 1840 took over the business, and after he died it went to I forgot who, will check it out for you. William August Basse Sr. and Lizette, my GGG grandparents are in my father's mother's line. I have a family tree, the Huelsmann family tree that was handed down thru Grandma's family that I got after Grandma died. It traces the family back to 1698 in Germany. Unfortunately it ended when Grandma died as I didn't know ab! out the cousins and second cousins it lists. It is interesting. One man in the family was guard to the Prince of Armenia. And one lady was listed as having no children. I felt sorry for her because the people for generations before and after her had a habit of populating the area. My 7G Grandfather had a wife who gave him 12 children, she died, then he married another lady and she had about that many. My 6G Grandfather came from the 2nd wife, and he did the same thing. Seems strange doesn't it. But that was what they did. So when I read about that lady without children I felt sorry for her, and thought, that's me too. I will get some specific information for you, and get it to you. It's great to hear from you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mary.... Do look at _http://www.findagrave.com/_ (http://www.findagrave.com/) John Arthur and William Madison McFarland and wives are cited there in Hebron Cemetery near Golden, Adams County, Illinois with pictures. These were recently added in August by a Nick Hyslop. I am unaware of a Houston Ebenezer Cemetery in Adams County but there is an Ebenezer Cemetery off of State Route 61 out towards LaPrairie. 318 individuals cited therein. Again use the Find-A-Grave website to find. Hope it helps. Al Baumbach
I am making a trip to Adams County and I'm trying to find information on cemeteries. Is there a cemetery in LaPrairie? I believe William Madison McFarland and Joseph Hamilton McFarland may be buried there or near by. Also Wesley McFarland, Joseph's son. Can anyone tell me if the Houston Ebenezer South cemetery is in Adams county?
