    1. [ILEDGAR] Whalen Cemetery in Edgar Co, IL

    3. Hi, Phyllis & Ray, If you'll watch for green street/road signs when in the Paris area of Edgar Co, you can follow Rt 150 E from town, over the railroad overpass, then N /left on 1800th Street to the first crossroads. Turn W /left onto 950th Road. Whalen, I believe lays N of 950th Rd, before Y in road that goes both straight N and angles on NW to the Clinton Road. Cemetery is in pas- ture near Stepp farm, but land is owned by John Watson, who has a tenant farmer. You need to ask permission before enter- ing pasture to get to cemetery. Stepps might be able to tell you who to contact, but I don't find a phone # in 6/00 directory for them, nor for Watson. Cemetery lays in SW quarter NW quarter Section 33 T14N R11W 2nd Principal Meridian, according to our Edgar Co Genealogical Society's Cemetery Directory. You can also find locations for many IL cemeteries on the IL State Genealogical Society's Website at: http//:www.tbox.com/isgs/ But a few of ours have not been updated since more accurate locations have been found. Best wishes to you both from ajb.
