Hi Listers - Does anyone have access to the cemetery transcriptions for Broughton Twp cemetery, Emington, Illinois? I am still searching for my CLOSE family, and after getting copies of 1880 census, I now know that they lived and farmed in Broughton Twp. and probably died there as well. It is most likely they would be buried in Broughton Twp cemetery. The only address I can find for the cemetery is Broughton Twp Cemetery, Broughton Twp., Emington, Illinois, 60934. Is that address good enough to get a letter there, or should there be a box number or street address? I have also tried to find a library in Emington, in hopes they have an e-mail address, but didn't have any luck. Sometimes libraries have cemetery transcriptions of their local cemeteries. Any help greatly appreciated. - Karen in BC Canada

Hi Karen, I lived in Emington and knew of a Close family that lived and farmed east of Emington and north of Kempton. Would this be the family you are looking for? Also, if you have some dates, you could call the Livingston County Court House and have someone there do some reseach for you. Verda is probably the best there is, however, give her lots of time as she gets lots of requests and has just a few helpers these days. One nice thing she has done is put a picture of the marker and as much information, obits, etc with each person buried in a Livingston County cemetery. Good luck in your research.

Hi Virginia - I have birth dates for the parents, and approx years on the children. I have no death dates. The parents, James and Jane, were still there in 1880 census but not in the 1900 census for that area, so I presume they died in that time, in that area. If you have an address, I could write to the Livingston County Courthouse. - Karen in BC Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: Comaward <comaward@frontiernet.net> To: <ILLIVING-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2001 3:56 PM Subject: Re: [ILLIVING] Broughton Twp Cemetery > Hi Karen, I lived in Emington and knew of a Close family that lived and > farmed east of Emington and north of Kempton.
