I have found your Joseph Durman in the 1900 census. Look on page 131B. Bruce Township, LaSalle county. In Heritage Quest the spelling is way off but it looks to me like Doermann. The names match the family that you are looking for. Good luck. Susan

Candy, I noticed your name and that of the cemetery. Would you have a Walter Ammons in your family? I have been scanning in photos from an old album that belonged to my mother, and there are several military/1940's photos of Walter Ammons. I have no idea who he is. My mother was Ethel Pruitt, parents Charles and Muriel Pruitt of Streator. Charles raised her as his own but her natural father was John Petko. Her grandparents were Thompsons and she married a #1-Himelrick, and #2 a Bain in California. Sharon > Mackey Cemetery, Ammons and Mackey's mostly buried there.

I am researching the Dorman line from LaSalle County. I found a ship manifest that shows Ruth Dorman coming to US from England with son Benjamin to be with husband Joseph in 1898.

May I ask what names are you looking for, or what time frame? Bazore-Barnhart has a lot of early Bruce and Otter Creek citizens. I think the 1947 tombstone index has about 250 burials. Phillips, south of Streator, was an early cemetery. Joanie > Can anyone on this list help me with the cemeteries in Streator, LaSalle > County, Illinois.

Lostlands, west of Kangley, was the first Catholic cemetery in the area. St. Mary's is the oldest in the City of Streator. It started about 1878. Others are: St. Anthony's, German; Old (and) New St. Stephen's, Slovak and Rusin; and St. Casimir's, Polish. There are also Catholics buried in the Russian Orthodox cemetery. Also, some of the earlier burials were in Ottawa.

Can anyone on this list tell me where Hillcrest Cemetery is? Is it in Streator? Is it in LaSalle County? Thanks for any help. Jane

Can anyone on this list help me with the cemeteries in Streator, LaSalle County, Illinois. I know of Riverview Cemetery as I have several ancestors buried there.

thanks Merriner is a familiar name, this is good information for me.

I believe your Nellie was married to my cousin, Louis Mootz, son of Louis W. Mootz and Dora Sanford. I have an obit for Louis, who died in 1985, and it mentions "the former Nell Hampton" as his wife, who died before him. I'm interested in any children for this couple. I'll be happy to share any Mootz information. Let me know if you would like a copy of this obit. Good luck! Judith Haller

Joanie, Thanks for your reply. I now have information regarding this family. I was hoping that I could find out what happened to Walter's sister Kate as well, but I have no idea who she married, where she married or if she even did marry or any place of death. Yes, Walter's parents were Edward and Julia. A son died and he is buried in Gridley near Walter and Leora. Walter's sister's family is buried in the same plot as well. Ada Hampton Raney, her husband John Raney and their children Zora and Walter are buried next to Walter and Leora. Edward and Julia are also buried at Gridley some distance from the younger Hampton. Julia's mother Mary Vert is also buried nearby. I just recently became aware of the relationships between these folks. One census states that Julia had 7 children with only 3 surviving. Her first husband and son are also buried in Gridley. Just such sad circumstances that there were so many young children's deaths. Thanks again for your help.

I'm looking for info on Birt Abbott. Father was Isaac James Abbott; Mother was Mary (Varner) Abbott. Birt was born in KS 18 Jan 1887. I know they were in La Salle Cnty, IL by 1889 because Birt's next 4 sisters ( Alta, Lela, Evva, Ester) were born in IL. (6 more after were born in KS) Family stories are he died when he was a child of a spinal disease but I can't locate where he died. The family was never allowed to mention his name after his death. What has me realy courious is at "LDS Fmly Srch" I found his death listed as 15 Jan 1905 but no location. This puts his death at 18 yrs; not as a child. His name is written in the family bible as Birt Louis Abbott. Any info on him, or his family, would be so greatly appreciated. His grandfather was John Wm Abbott and grt-grndfther was Isaac Abbott. Thank you for any info you may find. Debbie
