Just to let all of you know that I have gotten at least a couple pictures of each cemetery that I visited on my trip on the page now. I will be going through each roll of film now and listing the stones I have pictures of. That will take some time as I have well over 400 pictures. This was an expensive project but when I saw the conditions in some of the older cemeteries, I could not find it in my heart not to take the pictures. I have pictures that my mother took of Hays/Coppenabarger cemetery in 1950 and at least half of the stones no longer exist. I am going to ask each of you who are brothered by the conditions of the cemeteries to write to the Illinois State Controller, who oversee's the laws and conditions of cemeteries and their care. The more who write the more chance someone will listen. The addresses are below and I will request that you send a copy of the letter to each of the two offices. There is also a feedback sight at the State Controller's page you can try that but I cannot get it to accept my messages: http://www.ioc.state.il.us/CemeteryCare/Feedback_EntryForm.cfm Office of the Comptroller - Springfield Executive Office 201 Capitol Springfield, IL 62706-0001 (217) 782-6000 Cemetery Care and Burial Trust 100 West Randolph Street Suite 15-500 Chicago, Illinois 60601 Please be patient for the list of pictures that I do have asit will take some time. I hope that all of you have found this information worth while and I thank each of you for your help.
