Steve, You need to call the Court house and ask to be transferred to their cemetery dept. The guy that runs Oakwood is a very nice man by the name of James. I wish I could remember his last name to tell you. He has a book consisting of all the people in Oakwood. Names, dates of death, location, plot, grave #, and he will send you a map with the interested dead person highlighted for you. Oakwood can get confusing. Hope this helps Melissa Peters (nee PARPART) Also-Pobanz, Arends Omaha, NE _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM: Try the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
The sexton of Oakwood Cemetery is John McCracken. He, too, is a nice man and will be happy to help you in any way he can. The book with names used to be in City Hall, and they may have a copy, but John has it in his office. Don't hesitate to call him Kathy Minder Geneseo,Il -----Original Message----- From: Melissa Peters [mailto:mpeters1200@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:40 PM To: ILHENRY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILHENRY-L] Re: Oakwood Cemetery Steve, You need to call the Court house and ask to be transferred to their cemetery dept.
