Hi, George, Do you have the Temple Cemetery Book ? It contains obituaries along with the cemetery information. Is this your John MINER? "MINER, John, s/o William & Phoebe 'Rachel' WARD MINER, killed at the Battle of Murfreesboro, TN; 31 Dec., 1862, in the 24th year of his age, Co. B, 84 Reg. IL Vol, (Military records show, John MINER, Civil War, Pvt. Army Co. F, IL Inf. d.31 Dec., 1862." I won't copy the rest, as you may have it already, but it covers Emma E, Carrie L,and other children of Wm MINER and Nancy ANDRUS MINER.

In particular, information regarding Rev. John Francis Miner (my ggg grandfather) who came to the county in around 1830 and died there in 1838. He's buried in Temple Cemetery. We have a good history of this family forward, but are still searching for information on his parents. >>
