My great great grandparents are supposed to be buried in a cemetery in Alexander County Illinois. They left Mississippi County Arkansas in 1863 or 1864 with their children. The children returned to Mississippi County Arkansas in 1865. My great great grandparents names were Russell Musick and Elizabeth Mary Dowell Musick. It is reported that they died with 4 days of each other. I have no dates of passing but I am thinking the span of time would be between 1863 and 1865. If someone could provide a list of cemeteries within Alexander County it would be a great help to me. Thank you, Rosemary

Rosemary, The most complete list I have see, is located here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsgs/ilcemetery-al/alexander.html I am not sure how complete, or how accurate it is, but it is a good start. Many of them are family plots and may require a bit of work to locate.

Rosemary, Using the inscriptions from cemeteries in Pulaski County, IL that are listed in "Where They Sleep," (series published by The Genealogical Society of Southern Illinois), I found the following Musick burials listed on p. 6 of Book IV: Beech Grove Cemetery: Florence MUSICK d/C. Y &.M. L. MUSICK 28 Jul 1890 13 Feb 1892 Beechwood Cemetery: Mary L. MUSICK 139-8 20 Dec 1865 25 Feb 1951 I found no MUSICKs listed in Book III, however. (NOTE: Some of my ARTER and HARRELL ancestors are listed in Book III. I am still trying to locate the burial sites for more MAGEES than the two listed in Book IV and for any EICHENBERGERs, all collateral relatives.) Perhaps, someone who has access to Vols. 1, 2 & 5 of "Where They Sleep" might be able to locate your MUSICKS buried in other cemeteries.
