    1. John D. Hiner - DEFENBAUGH Cemetery
    2. The obit dated May, 1914, was just a GAR article about their service and had a list of members who had passed away. That is why I was over at the Guild yesterday, I needed his death date. No obit in the Streator Free Press, but I found one in the Daily Independent Times. I am working 9:30 - 2:30 tomorrow at the museum, and Sat and Sun have a fellow coming to take down decoration. So, I will not be able to get back until next week. Did I give you the Kelley obits?
