Joan, One more thing, I have my William and Jane Haddick page complete except for one date of marriage for one of their daughters. If when looking through the Christ Episcopal church records you come across the following marriage would you let me know. Bride - Elizabeth A. Haddick Groom - Albert Ullom marriage about 1903 Many thanks! Jane Joan wrote: > > Thank You, > If you want a copy of the picture, write to the museum.

Sorry, did not find Elizabeth Ann, born April 1876, marriage to Ullom. I did not check for a marriage license. Sorry, next time. Seems like all the Haddick's were buried in Riverside/Riverwood/Riverview, including the boys. There are a lot of gaps in the records. I remember reading the notices Alexander Fuller was putting in the papers in the 1870s and 1880s. People were being buried there and they were not telling him about it. He was getting quite upset. But, they had been burying people there long before the cemetery was organized. The association finally started to get it together in 1872, when Frankie Plumb, Col. Ralph's daughter, died. The Fuller's, Mrs. Fuller was a distant relative of Mrs. Plumb, had some land along the river and Frankie was buried there. But, that was in the north east part of the cemetery. There was an editorial published the same day as Frankie's obituary, stating a "need for a place to bury our dead". Your family is buried in the front of the cemetery, that land might have been part of the McQuown Custer farm. I don't remember when Mrs. Custer, Sherman's sister, sold that farm to the cemetery. But Sherman's young children, died abt. 1871, are buried in that area, as are many early settlers of Streator. Mrs. Chrisman, who died in 1875, and other members of your family's church are buried in that area also. And, in the far north of the present cemetery is another group of older graves. It is supposed to be the location of a Haldeman's cabin, Mrs. Custer's mother was a Haldeman. Apparently, some bodies were interred there from the old Indian Burial Ground. So, that is probably why some of the early records are missing. People were just burying their family members everywhere and poor Mr. Fuller was forced to put notices in the paper. Joanie
