    1. [[ILLAKE]: ] Parker family of Lake Co., IL

    3. I found a "Orin Parker" buried in Angola Cemetery in the book, "Lake Villa Township Cemetery Inscriptions", published by the Lake County Genealogical Society. Next to Orin is buried Sarah Parker. According to the book, neither of the stones have a date or age on them. Also buried at Angola Cemetery is Elizabeth Parker, died March 16, 1917 at age 89 years, 9 months. On the same lot with her are buried Sylvia Parker (no age or date) and Ellen Parker, died 1869 (no age). There is no listing for Hyram Parker. Angola Cemetery was established in 1855, so if Hyram died before 1855, he would not be buried there. There are several other Parker burials in this cemetery. If you would like a copy of the book, it cost $7.00 plus postage and can be ordered from the Lake County Genealogical Society % Dorothy Dolph, 134 Goodwin Place, Mundelein, IL 60060. A complete list of publications of the Lake Co. (IL) Genealogical Society is available on their web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~illcgs/index.htm There may be an obituary or death notice in the newspaper for Elizabeth Parker, which may give the death date of her husband. There was an Antioch newspaper published in the time period of her death and a Libertyville newspaper that covered most of the county. Both have been microfilmed and are available in local libraries. They may be available on interlibrary loan. Hope this helps. Carol Knigge
