In the Apr 1930 census, widowed 79y old Sim WHITSON was a lodger in the home of Charles M. and Elizabeth McROBERTS in Pomona Twp., family 152. At Gregory-Minton cemetery in Pomona Twp., Samuel WHITSON is buried next to Clarence, Norman, and Peter McROBERTS. I wonder if someone from the McROBERTS family could have erected the gravemarker for Sim, thinking that his name had been Samuel? If so, they also got his birthdate wrong. Simon or Simeon WHITSON was born 13 Oct 1850, not 13 Oct 1860. Simeon or Simon is listed as Sim in the Illinois State Death Index: WHITSON SIM N/S UNK 0000323 1938-09-11 UNION Tom Shawcross ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karima" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 10:06 PM Subject: Re: [ILJACKSON] SIMEON (SIMON) WHITSON > Hi Mary, > > Samuel WHITSON, Oct 13, 1860 - Sept 11, 1938 (not written Simeon in > cemetery transcriptions) > Gregory/Minton Cemetery, Pomona Township, Jackson County, IL > > Hope this helps, > > Karima > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mary Riseling" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 7:31 PM > Subject: [ILJACKSON] SIMEON (SIMON) WHITSON > > > > Looking for someone with transcripts from the Gregory/Minton Cemetery, in > > Pomona Township of Jackson County.

Thanks Tom. Interesting on the birthdate as I have always had it as 1860.

Thanks Karima. For the record, the name is Simeon (also sometimes Simon).
