My great great grandfather was John Lund. According the the civil war muster records he enlisted from Wrights (?) would this be listed? He later married a Margaret Armour, daughter of Dempsey Armour and farmed in Christian county.

In reading an article by Thelma Gardner in the 1968 Christian County history, I noted that the land on which the Old Walnut Hill Cemetery sits was given to Christian County in 1904 by Josiah Hill. In 1964 the land was cleaned by the road commissioner under the auspices of the states Attorney and a (I believe) township Supervisor. Can anyone verify this information? The cemetery is in grave disrepair and I would like to see to getting it cleaned and some of the stones repaired.

Can anyone tell me the exact cost plus postage for the new Oak Hill Cemetery book? I know it's available from the Genealogical Society, but I keep forgetting to call them during the limited hours to get the details to buy a copy. I'm in Pennsylvania, so I have no luxuries of stopping by for a look at what should be a treasure chest worth of my husband's ancestors. Thanks. Jodi Reifsnyder Adrian [email protected]

BARBARA I do not find that name in the Oak Hill Cem book, which is in Taylorville, Christian County IL. THANKS.....:-)* Sally Hathaway.... [email protected] Owner of ILROUTE66 LIST [email protected] [email protected]

BARBARA I have never heard of a surname index to match with cemeteries. Unless someone knows the name, it would not easily be found this way. You need to find, at least, what town or close to what town or township to try to find them in. I do have a lady who walks lots of cemeteries and does this thing with writing all surnames down in each cemetery. You might try her. She is the closet that I can think of for that. Sandy is her name and you can contact her at: [email protected] ...tell her that I sent you to her. She will try to help you if she can. She deals with cemeteries and surnames and obits. She is also my member and a good friend. THANKS.....:-)* Sally Hathaway.... [email protected] Owner of ILROUTE66 LIST [email protected] [email protected]
