I would be interested to learn more about this from any KVGS members (or others) who may have the information. As a member >> Chuck, Are you talking about the Cemetery that is still there attached to the grounds? There is a very large State Hospital Cemetery close to Kankakee Communtiy College which is part of the old state hospital grounds. The markers are still there and in general the cemetery is not kept up very well. They do have a privacy fence around it, but is is very accesible. When you first look at it, it seems like a military cemetery because all the stones are lined up and are small white markers, etc. Dave King
