I too am interested in getting a list of CEMETERIES IN EDGAR CO, ILLINOIS, WITH THE NAMES OF BURIALS. I have a Great Uncle, MARTIN SIZEMORE, and many others of his descendants, that I expect are buried in the cemetery that he is buried in. I would like to find them, identify them, get pictures of their tombstones, or know if they have a grave marker. For the information of all who are interested, I have recently had the grave marker placed by the family on the grave of ELIZABETH VEST, wife of JOHN SIZEMORE, SR, who probably died sometime prior to 1860, placed in a cement base. The old gravemarker was down, broken in three places and buried in the ground on or near her grave, at Cox Cemetery, Adair Co, MO. A cousin in Iowa made a trip to Cox Cem recently; she found the grave and marker. She dug it up, placed it flat on the grave. I was concerned that it would suffer further damage, so in order to preserve what remained of the original stone, I had it preserved in a new cement base by The Unionville Granite Works, Unionville, MO last Sept, 2000. I plan to add a bronze marker placed on her grave to read as follows: ELIZABETH VEST, wife of JOHN SIZEMORE SR, b 1779, died March 14, 1866. I would prefer to add the day and month of her birth to the year 1779, but so far have been unable to determine those facts. I am settling on 1779 as the year of her birth based on the 1850 & 1860 census records. In 1850 census ELIZABETH is with John Sr in Edgar Co, IL where her age is shown as 71; in 1860 she is with her son Joshua, HH, Adair Co, MO, where her age is shown as 81---both are consistent. I also conclude that both ages were probably given from the lips of Elizabeth, since she was 71 & 81, respectively, and was most likely the person at home who gave that info to the Census Taker/Recorder. I AM OPEN TO BE CORRECTED AND EDIFIED. If any descendants in Edgar Co, ILLINOIS care to educate me re her date of birth please do so. Also, please CAN ANYONE HELP ME LOCATE the burial sites of JOHN SIZEMORE, SR, or MARTIN SIZEMORE, his son, a long time resident and distinquished citizen of Edgar Co, ILLINOIS. Lastly, I would love to locate living SIZEMORE KIN in ILLINOIS, descendants of JOHN AND MARTIN. I am the son of ROXIE LENA SIZEMORE, who was the daughter, of AUSTIN J. SIZEMORE, who was the son of WILLIAM SIZEMORE, who was the brother of MARTIN SIZEMORE-----both WILLIAM SIZEMORE & MARTIN SIZEMORE were the sons of the marriage of JOHN SIZEMORE SR & ELIZABETH VEST SIZEMORE. I look forward to a connection with a SIZEMORE descendant, in ILLINOIS, of the above described SIZEMORES. Ray F. Snider, Jr, in Magalia, CA.
