Speaking of cemetery books. I have a copy of one that is called Hamilton County Cemeteries & Probate Index, copied by Harriet B. Vaught, Zelia Davis, Pat Gholson and Zella Daily. However there is no date in the book as to when this was published. Does anyone know? I have had this book for some time and when I received it I failed to date it. I had not heard of the ones published by Sharon Easley. I used to correspond with her several years ago and I think she still lives in Mt. Vernon. Donna Smith

Zelia Edington (Marshall) Davis b. 10-13-1893 and her twin Zella (Paul Daily) were daughters of James and Nellie Rice Edington. Sounds good and old to me! See their pictures on Yesterday's of Hamilton County, Illinois.

Donna, The last date I see in the Vaught book is 1973, although most of the readings were in 1963. Mrs. Vaught did genealogy work in White County from the late 1940s on, and published a number of books which are now offered by the White County Historical Society. The public library in Carmi has several volumes of her notes, which were donated after her death. Her handwriting is very difficult to read, and her books contain a number of errors. The Shuster books are very good. I know they were offered by him for many years and assume the historical society in McLeansboro offers reprints.
