    3. I received this email from Raymond Nunn he wrote below can anyone help him with this. I have the article if someone needs it. Tim...I am sending you an attachment of a 1933 photo of a family reunion/90th birthday celebration of a woman named Mrs. N.A. Parker. The photo was taken in the community of Fern Hill, Illinois. I have been on the search for both the Parker family and Fern Hill for two years all to no avail. I enlisted the assistance of the reporter who wrote the attached story but I discovered that it was not in the St.Clair (Belleville) area. I finally hit on the Latitude and Longitude coordinances for Fern Hill and they landed me right smack in Johnson County. When I searched your area I found a Fern Cemetery located on highway Rt 45 between Vienna and Harrisburg...I am supposing that there may have been the community or town of Fern Hill located right in that area in 1933...Put on your history hat...and see if you can verify this for me...I also read the history of Simpson and wonder if Mr. Kerly is still living...If he is he could probably tell where Fern Hill was located...I sure hope you answer me...and I sure hope that I get some kind of Fern Hill location verification...Thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you...
