    1. [ILLASALL-L] Mendota Cemetery
    2. The name of the cemetery is RESTLAND. The one across the street is a catholic cemetery, I believe the name is St Mary's. We have many family members buried in Restland, but the records through the years have been very poorly kept. Many of our family had no gravestones, and the sexton has no records. We know they are buried there because of family still living and obituaries. My husband's Mother is buried there, and when they had no records of grandparents etc., he became so angry, he asked about his Mother. She has a headstone, and we attended the funeral in 1974, and have visited the grave on many occasions. They could not tell my husband from the records that she is buried there until the Sexton took a walk through the cemetery to where my husband told her to go, and found the grave. I do not believe the present sexton is at fault, they had only been there a short while when we talked to them last year. Hope you have good luck, and find all the info you need. Good Hunting, Ellen
