Hi, friends, I'm still mowing and looking for stones at the Old Brick cemetery. Found the top part of a broken one, yesterday, and will keep searching the same area to see if I can find the part of the stone which has the name and dates. The part of the stone I found is near a base which is probably where it stood, so hopefully it is close by somewhere. Hopefully, before too much longer, the process of trying to draw a plat of the graves, marked and unmarked, or with base only and no stone, will begin. When I get up courage, I hope to probe the bank west of the cemetery to see if any stones can be found down by the creek. The cemetery is also known as Middle Creek, and sometimes as Elm Tree. Best wishes, Robert ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!

The Hancock County Historical Society 3rd Floor Courthouse Carthage, IL 62321 They have an extensive card index and will do limited research in their collection. Their card index includes obituaries, cemetery inscriptions, newspaper clippings, county histories and scads of other materials. Volunteers do the work, so don't expect them to compile your entire family history. The society is a wonderful source of information--if you haven't used it you may wish to try. They have a significant newspaper collection for Carthage. The Historical Society also has the portion of the Illinois Marriage Index for Hancock County.
