    3. I'm new to the Christian County list just having found that these families moved here from Springfield, Sangamon Co. I'm hoping to find relations and help in locating more data about these families. William H. Leisster married Martha Jane Layman 25 July 1871 in Sangamon Co. They are listed as living in Stonington, Christian Co. in the 1880, 1920 and 1930 census'. Martha Jane's father, JESSE LAYMAN, was living with them in the 1880 census and not with his wife and other children at their hotel/boarding house in Springfield. I don't think Wm/Martha Leisster had any children. I'm looking for cemetery where William H. Leisster, Martha Jane Layman Leisster and her brother, Frank Layman are buried. Does anyone have access to a cemetery list for Christian Co. who can do a lookup for me, please? Can anyone help me find the death/cemetery listing for Jesse Layman? I don't have a death date for him. The IL death records say: William H. Leisster died 27 December 1922 in Stonington Martha Jane Layman Leisster (no record but she was born 1849) Frank Layman (or Samuel Frank Layman) died 22 November 1935 in Pana Thanks, Mary Louise Townsend Potomac Falls, VA
