    3. I spoke to Verda a couple weeks ago about people making requests. She said it is easier for her to have a letter than a phone call. It's hard for her to hear clearly on the phone but with a letter in hand she has a better chance to get the names right. -----Original Message----- From: Missfiz@aol.com <Missfiz@aol.com> To: ILLIVING-L@rootsweb.com <ILLIVING-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, April 16, 2001 9:45 AM Subject: Fairbury Cemetery Hi, John: The Fairbury Cemetery is named Graceland Cemetery. This cemetery has A/C's buried in it as well as the small A/C Cemetery adjoining Graceland Cemetery. (Only a gravel lane and shrubbery divide it from the rest of the cemetery.) I know Verda Gerwick of Lexington Gen. Society has walked and recorded all gravestones in Graceland Cemetery and I would imagine that she has done the A/C Cemetery as well. However, I have heard she is slow answering letters; she is in her 80's and may be having a bout of ill health. It might be worth a telephone call to her rather than a letter. Her address is on the Livingston Co., IL usgenweb page. There are two rural A/C cemeteries, one northeast of Fairbury and one southeast of Fairbury also. Susan Ulfers Campbell in GA
