Dear Doris, I have found some Bartlett information in Macon County Cemetery Inscriptions Volume III, for the Long Grove Cemetery. It is sparse and I not know if it is the people you are searching. I will quote the information at the end of the Long Grove Cemetery listing. "The 1891 Plat Book of Decatur and Macon Conty shows the Long Grove Cemetery on land owned by W. T. Atterbery (160 Acres). The following are the names taken from the plat of the Long Grove Cemetery as recorded in the office of the County Recorder in Decatur, IL. (See page 44 for location of the following. The plat was recor4ded November 23, 1942." Number 21. is a J. A. Bartlett. (No dates, but perhaps that would be available in the Recorder's Office) You mentioned not knowing much about George Bartlett and I found the following information on pg 48, which might shed some light on his life. Bartlett, Henrietie, wife of G. A. d. Dec. 9 1882. aged 38 yrs. 3 m. 17 da. Bartlett, Rachel dau. of G.A. and I., d. apr. 19, 1874, aged 3 yrs. 9 mo. 27 days. Bartlett, Isabella wife of G. A. d. Mar 10 1874, aged 34 yrs. 2 mo. 10 days Good luck, Beverly Miner Ohio Searching in Macon Co. for Shettel, Hardy, Lewis and Sipthorp on 8/6/03 10:38 PM, doriswaggoner@juno.com at doriswaggoner@juno.com wrote: > I would be very grateful if some kind soul could find for me a cemetery > listing for Jennie BASTION SEASS BARTLETT, who I believe died near Macon > between Feb 1884 and June 1891.
