His Name is Simon H. Grant.His name was listed on the city sexton Interment report for september 15, to September 29th. 1846.Does anyone know where this cemetary is located and, if there are any records that still exist? Any information would be appreciated. I have been looking for this individual for 10 years. I would love to verify if this is in fact him. Thank you for any help with this matter. Kathy Kelley

The cemetery is located in West Galena Twp - my son-in-law works with the county road supervisor - I will check with him and see if he knows where the cemetery is located. I could attempt to find a marker there for you, once the weather gets warmer! Bonnie -- Bonnie J.

The old cemetery in Galena is actually what used to be the Old City Cemetery. It was closed a while ago and burials moved to other area cemeteries. I suggest contacting Steve Repp at the Special Collections dept. at the Galena Library. He's really helpful and probably can give you some idea of where many of the burials went. This dept. has lots of historical and genealogical info on Galena area families etc. Jennifer Norman jennifer@heer.com www.jennifer.heer.com Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as progress. -----Original Message----- From: Deb [mailto:ilgrundy@earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 8:02 AM To: ILJODAVI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: FW: Old cemetary -----Original Message----- From: kelley [mailto:kelley55@covad.net] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 4:56 PM To: ILJODAVI-D-request@rootsweb.com Subject: Old cemetary Hi, In my genealogy search I have found a reference to a person buried in the "old Cemetary in Galena.
