Kevin, Bongard is basically a grain elevator on the old Illinois Central Railroad line south of Champaign between Philo and Villa Grove. It's been some years since the family sold the adjacent farm land, so things could have changed. L do not recall a cemetery but as a youngster I wasn't always looking for one. (g) I believe most residents were buried in one of the church yards in the surrounding towns. Hugh W.
