The Etherly Cemetery is located in the SE 1/4 of Section 30 of Victoria Twp. It is 2 1/2 south of the Methodist Church in Victoria, then left on the first road east about 3/4 a mile. It is in very bad condition. This cemetery is sometimes called "Smith Cemetery" Some of my Smith family and related families are the only ones buried there. What names are you looking for?..... Grace

Donna, Good question. At this time I don't have plans to publish any thing. I'm just compiling as much info as I can to see where it leads. I do share anything I find with other interested people. Two years ago I was hired by Orange Township to restore McAllister Cemetary. All stones have been fixed and reset. Very pretty setting. I live between Maquon and Gilson about 2 miles west of the Red Chalk area. Indians used clay from the area to make pottery. I know the people that live in the area. Which family were you looking for in that area and what years? Does your Grim family tie in with the Cowman's?

Winter, John S. County Clerk, Galesburg, he was born Aug. 9, 1822 at Pittsburg, PA. His father, John Winter, was a Baptist minister, who came from Bradford, England, in 1818, and settled in Pittsburg, where he lately died. His education was obtained in the public schools of his native city, and at his home, under the tuition of his father. When 23, he traveled west, settling in Fulton County, IL, and establishing himself in the printing business. After the Mormon troubles, which for so long a time had excited Illinois, he went to Nauvoo, where he edited a paper for nearly a year; he then removed to Knox County, settling in Knoxville in 1849, where he commenced the publication of the Knoxville Journal. For a short time after his withdrawal from its management, he engaged in mercantile pursuits. During the stirring campaign of 1856, he established the Knoxville Republican; in 1857 was elected County Clerk. With the exception of an interval of one term he has continued in that office, and has fulfilled all its responsible duties with integrity and ablility, and to the fullest acceptance of the people. He has been an active partisan, and has obtained large influence as a leading citizen of this county--not simply by party zeal, but by his public spirit, which has made him an energetic worker in all movements for the public weal. In 1847 he was married to Mary M. Brewen. Joan :o)
