Am very glad to see some of this info on Livingston Co. I had an aunt Blanche Lighterholder who was a Holmes and was my grandfathers sister. They had the Holmes farms in Streator since 1864.. Other surnames I'm researching are Fraser, Holmes, Goslin. I have a Riverview Cemetery manual and if someone needs a lookup in it , would be glad to do so. Any info anyone might have on names I'm researching would appreciate getting it. Thanks Janet Matteson---------sewzq@uti.com >>
