Below is the obituary for a woman who was very active in genealogy. I thought there might be those who "knew" her but would not be aware of her passing. Kristy Recent Deaths 2//20//03...from The Aurora, IL, Beacon News     Delores S. (Haas) Nelson Delores S. (Haas) Nelson, 58 years of Montgomery, IL died February 19, 2003 of pancreatic cancer.

Nelson, daughters Ann (Brian) LeClercq, Janice Nelson, Nancy (Timothy) Isberg; grandchildren Brandon Timothy Isberg, Sierra Lynne Isberg, Dayton Mitchell LeClercq, Evan Thomas LeClercq; a sister Marcia A. Haas of Fox Lake, IL and a brother Edward E. Haas.     She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene A. and Isabelle M. nee Greiter Haas. She attended Holy Angels and Nancy L. Hill Elementary Schools, Benjamin Franklin Jr. High School and graduated from West Aurora High School in 1964. She has studied genealogy for 35 years and was the Greiter/Haas/Nelson family historian. She volunteered at the Aurora Public Library regularly, helping with genealogical questions and the Genealogy Workshops, teaching new researchers how to get started with their families. She was a member of the Kane County Genealogical Society where she recorded and indexed many records at most of the cemeteries in the area. She worked at the Kane County Historical Society indexing over 42,000 probate records. She was on many committees at St. Anne Catholic Church including Arts and Environment, Hopkins Park Collection. She helped to settle an immigrant Laotian family in Illinois and worked the Youth Group, Baptismal Team and was a Lay Eucharistic Minister. She was a Girl Scout and Campfire leader.     She prided herself on her Christmas trees in every room of the house and also on the special tree decorated primarily with angels, snowflakes and rose ornaments. She was also proud of her 50 year tradition of baking Christmas cookies with the family on the day after Thanksgiving. She will always be remembered for her love of angels, her love of history, genealogy and most especially her love for her family.     Visitation will take place on Friday, February 21, 2003 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the McKEOWN-DUNN FUNERAL HOME, LTD at 210 S.

I should confess, I'm a librarian. So, I did what any good librarian SHOULD do--I contacted a colleague. The St. Charles Public Library has a real-time reference service, as well as an email service. They answered my question within 3 hours! There's a Garfield Cemetery Association and they gave me a contact name and number. I'm going to call her tomorrow.

last I heard they were still a manual office.. but the people very nice and would COPY the info not rewrite it. for a buck fifty that would be great result. I'd suggest an alpha listing. with space for the office to make notations while they do your request.. and ask for corresponding lot cards so you can se if there are others on the lot with your family that you don't know about.. and ask for a pretty decent map of the cem so someday you can go and photo your monuments. or ask if they have any researchers that they allow in their office to do the work - including the monuments.. remember monuments might have info not found on the cards.. valentine. ive spend well over 10.00 a name.. 1.50 is soooo reasonable.. consider it a birthday gift to yourself... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Nelson" <knelson@muellercpa.com> To: <ILKANE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 4:28 PM Subject: RE: [ILKANE] Bluff City Cem, Elgin > That is a good question.

I don't know who, if anyone, has records. I've seen some mentions that it is in Wasco, but it is in Campton Twp... <http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsgs/ilcemetery-al/kane.html> If it's a small cemetery, or if you can figure out where in the cemetery they are, I can get digital photos for you.

My gggrandfather, Magnus JOHNSON (1823-1917) and gggrandmother Maria JOHNSON (1835-1915), are buried at Garfield Cemetery in Campton Township (at least I "think" that it's Campton). Since I'm hitting dead end after dead end, I was wondering if anyone knew who was the keeper of the records for this cemetery. Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Terry Terry Beck ta.beck@gte.net

PS I forgot to tell you that we just got microfilm copies of the Dubuque Luxemburger Gazette which covers August 4, 1871 through June 27, 1918. There is an index to this: Luxembourgers in the New World by Nicholas Gonner, which we also have. The only bad thing about this is that it is in German and is printed in that old and hard to read German Black letter print.

If you will be in the Chicago area in early April, you may be interested in the following all-day program at the Newberry Library: Washington, DC-based speaker Eric G. Grundset (Director of the Daughters of the American Revolution Library) will present four informative topics. For a fraction of the cost of a trip to DC, you'll come away with greater knowledge to use now or in the future. There's still time to register for the annual Friends of Genealogy workshop Saturday, April 5, 2003 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM · Planning A Research Trip to Washington, DC Tips from a native on the best times to come, what to bring, how to plan. · DAR Member or Not This Library Is For You Mr. Grundset is Director of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Library. He'll show you how his library is much more than Revolutionary War records. For instance, it was one of the places Alex Haley used in his research for Roots. · Virginia and Her Daughters Records for early ancestors in Kentucky, Ohio and many Midwestern states may be hidden in records of Virginia. Learn what’s available from a past president of the Virginia Genealogical Society. · How Old Did You Have To Be? Knowing how old one had to be to get married, witness a will, or be apprenticed can bring a whole new light to your research. These ages differed over the course of American history. Cost: $75; includes gourmet box lunch and admission to exhibitor areas. Become a member of Friends of Genealogy and pay $40 for the workshop and $50 for a year-long membership ($90 total). E-mail kinneym@newberry.org or call 312/255-3510 to reserve your place. Visa, MasterCard and American Express accepted. Discounted parking is available while space permits at the 100 West Chestnut Street garage (entrance on Clark Street). Parking tickets must be validated at the Newberry Library lobby kiosk.
