http://www.usgennet.org/usa/il/county/knox/junk_cemeter.html Also, some Westfall's listed as being buried in the old Junk Cemetery which is no longer there. There is a Westfall Cemetery in Copley Township on land once owned by Alexander Westfall. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/il/county/knox/westfall_cem.html don't know if they are related or not. This is from my web page where i have the listings for the Knoxville cemetery online. SECTION VIII http://www.usgennet.org/usa/il/county/knox/knoxville_cemetery_sec_VIII_1 html WESTFALL Mrs. Sarah E. 3/19/1816 12/16/1886 Wife of O.P. Rugh Children of Mrs. Westfall: Catherine Bergen 1838 1854 Caroline A. Bergen 1847 1848 Louis H. Bergen 1842 1843 Louisa Bergen 1849 1863 Josephine Bergen 1844 1848 Mariett Bergen 1851 1851 WESTFALL Ebenezer 2/14/1803 10/19/1884 but not listed buried by the lady above. http://genealogytrails.com/ill/knox/1899_biographies_1.html John Junk was educated in a log school house in Fayette County, and later apprenticed to learn the trades of carpenter and joiner, and millwright, devoting three years to the former and two years to the latter. He came to Knox County in May 1855 and, having previously known Dr. Joseph Henderson, he settled near him in Henderson Township. The first application of his trade in the county was the building of a barn for Governor William McMurtry after which he built a school house in District No. 1. While thus engaged, he boarded with Mrs. Ebenezer (Robertson) Westfall. Hope this helps.
