The Kinder Cemetery is in what is now known as Hornsby, formally known as Clyde, IL approximately three miles west of Litchfield, IL. The old schoolhouse, church still stands in Hornsby, but is used privately as a horse stable. There is an older home across the street and to the west of the stables, but, I am not positive that this is the Wilhite homestead. Laura Wilhite who lives in Carlinville, IL still owns approximately 240 acres of land in front of the cemetery. I live in Hornsby, and have an old book of names and lot numbers of people who are buried in the Kinder Cemetery. I hope that this information is of help to you.

How strange, my cousin and I were just talking about the Wilhite house and Hornsby Cemetery yesterday. I live in San Francisco and made a trip to Hornsby in 1978. My great great grandfather William Henry Windsor (1828-1904) was the teacher at the Hornsby school from 1872 to about 1900. He and his wife, Suzanna Droke (1832-1875) are buried in the Hornsby Cemetery, along with a couple of their children. Hornsby is about four miles directly west of Litchfield, Illinois, but between Litchfield and Hornsby the county line changes from Montgomery to Macoupin. Anyway, I was in Littchfield and got a ride to Hornsby. There is a interstate freeway (St. Louis to Chicago) about a mile west of Litchfield, and you take a two lane highway that goes west from Litchfield, crosses the interstate highway and continues on through the fields to I think Carlinville. On one side of the two lane highway from Litchfield to Hornsby runs a railroad line. After a few miles of driving on this road from Litchfield, on the opposite of the road is Hornsby, you make a turn into what seems like a driveway and go about 80 feet and that is Hornsby. Of course it was probably a very different approach to Hornsby before the highway and railroad made the landscape so finite. I was expecting some sort of small town, but there is really nothing there. There is a church looking building with a bell tower that was covered with yellow-brown brick design tarpaper. That has a really poor look to it. I could not see inside the front part of it, where the school desks would have been, but the back was being used as a stable for horses. I saw the names of my great grandfather and his brothers and sisters still written on the stable walls in white paint back from the time they lived there. That would have been about late 1880's. About 100 feet south west of the school-stable was a trailer house with a familiy living in it. They did not know much about the history of Hornsby or the school house, although they told me about the horses and the stable. But they had a teenaged son who was nice enough to take me to the Hornsby cemetery. We had to walk down an old dirt road and then through some corn fields, and we came to a creek area with trees growing on either side of it and then down by the creek was the cemetery. It was not overgrown but had been watched over, although that years crop of weeds was pretty high. Where the cemetery was, the creek made a 45 degree right turn and so as the water brushed up against the land with the cemetery it was slowly eroding the land away from the cemetery, and one or two tombstones already lay in the creek bed. There were about 75 graves in the Hornsby cemetery I would say. I don't remember any house in Hornsby, all I remember are the old schoolhouse and the trailer house. Maybe there was a Wilhite house nearby --- across the road and railroad tracks --- but I don't remember. All I remember is how flat the land was, flat as a pancake with few trees. Oh and the mosquitoes down by the creek and in the cemetery, there were swarms of them, and the humidity. One of the sons of the above William Henry Windsor married a Wilhite. This was Henry Hanson Windsor (1874-1952) married Hattie May Wilhite (1877-1952). She was a daughter of Thomas Jackson Wilhite and Hannah Peques of Hornsby. I should also mention that the range area division of the county where Hornsby is located is called Clyde Cahokia. He was some early settler in Macoupin Co. I think or some early Illinois settler, anyway, the division name was usually just called Clyde. So Clyde is not Hornsby but the four by four mile area that Hornsby is in. When someone refers to Hornsby they refer to the town, when someone refers to Clyde they refer to the four by four mile area that Hornsby is in. I guess in country towns in those days if someone lived in Hornsby you could just say they live in Clyde and people would get your meaning. Jim Windsor

I found this question on the coalminers list. Perhaps somebody here could e-mail him some information. Subject: Mine "Riot"? Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 18:11:18 -0800 From: "George/Edie Boyd" <boydgore@mindsync.com> To: COALMINERS-L@rootsweb.com I'm a beginner on this list, but I think I qualify: both sets of grandparents were miners and immigrated from the UK (the "old country") around the turn of the century to work in the soft coal mines in central Illinois. My Dad's family came from the Glascow area and my Mother's from a village in Durham county in northern England where the men had all worked in the local collieries. The men and boys all worked at the local mines in and around my home town of Virden, Illinois until they were too old or until the mines ceased operations sometime just prior to WW2. I say "men and boys" because my Dad dropped out of school after the sixth grade to work in the coal mine (child labor laws not being what they are today) and worked there until the mines shut down in the late thirties. He also played semi-pro football in his off hours, which was a big thing in those days, the days of the Decatur Staleys (forerunner of "da Bears"). Competition was fierce between teams put together by! these little towns and if a miner had to miss work due to a Sunday afternoon injury, well, that was tough. The family suffered because the paycheck wasn't there. I can still remember the Saturday night bull sessions between my Dad and his cronies. They often cussed and discussed John L Lewis and his latest antics. Before I start rambling too much, perhaps I should state the reason I started this letter in the first place: It is said that a labor dispute and resultant strike at one of the local mines (circa 1898) led to the importation of replacement workers. As I understand it, these replacements were "coloreds", as they were known as in those days, transported by the railroad boxcar load from some unknown point of origin, perhaps Chicago or St. Louis. And, it is said, the striking miners were waiting track side when the trains arrived and when the boxcar doors were opened, opened fire with shotguns and rifles at the unsuspecting black men. This incident was referred to in local folklore, as I was growing up, as " the Virden coal mine riot". Sounds more like a slaughter to me. Finally the question: Does anyone out there have any facts they can share about the so-called Virden Mine Riot? If so, I would appreciate any enlightenement on the subject. Thank you. George Boyd
Katherine- I'm hardly local but..As others may tell you, Clyde became Hornsby, just when I don't recall. I have never visited the cemetery although several of my ancestors are buried there. Neil
Will a local person please help me, Is the Kinder/Wilhite Cemetery in Hornsby or Clyde? Are Hornsby and Clyde the same place, one being the town name and the other the RR designation? About 9 or 10 years ago, my husband and I were escorted to the Kinder/Wilhite Cemetery by an elderly gentleman from Litchfield, whose name I can't recall right now. We visited the town and the cemetery, and while in town I took pictures of a brick building that was then being used as a tractor barn, but was told that orriginally it was the Hornsby schoolhouse. Across from there and to the West(I think) was an old house, that if I remember right he identified as the old Wilhite house. Can anyone confirm this or clarify for me. Thanks Katharine

The Andersons married into the Huddleston family. Both were Macoupin Co. Illinois pioneers, coming there in 1834. Thanks, Jim Windsor >From the HISTORY OF MACOUPIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, BIOGRAPHICAL AND PICTORIAL, Volume II, supervising editor, Charles A. Walker, published by: S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago, 1911 p. 122, 123 (photograph of William Anderson), 125: WILLIAM ANDERSON. William Anderson, president of the Gillespie Mutual Insurance Company and for many years a leading agriculturist of Macoupin county, whose farm is located on section 5, Cahokia township, is a native of Putname county, Indiana. He was born February 14, 1832, a son of Thomas and Mary (Scott) Anderson. The grandfather of our subject on the paternal side was James Anderson, a native of Virginia, who moved to Tennessee and later took up his abode in Indiana. He had good fighting blood in his veins and was one of the active participants in the Black Hawk war. He lived to the advanced age of eighty years. Thomas Anderson, the father of our subject, was the eldest son of James Anderson. He was born in Tennessee and removed with his parents to Indiana early in life, continuing there until 1834. Believing that more favorable opportunities lay westward, he came to Macoupin county, Illinois, and entered one hundred and sixty acres of land in Honey Point township. He died just as he was entering upon the prime of a useful career, at the age of thirty-five years. The maiden name of his wife was Mary Scott, and she came to Macoupin county in 1834. There were four children in their family, namely: William, of this review; James M., who was a resident of Terre Haute, Indiana, and is now deceased; Jesse F., of Portland, Oregon; and Joseph M., who was a resident of Missouri and is also deceased. William Anderson has been a resident of Macoupin county since 1834, a period of seventy-seven years, and there are few men within its borders who can claim a better acquaintance with its development during the period named. He possessed very limited advantages of school training, as he was left an orphan in his boyhood, but he has been an apt student in the great school of experience. He early became acquainted with farm work and found employment on farms and in sawmills, working for nine years in mills on Honey creek. In the years when it was necessary he carefully saved his money and he was thus enabled to purchase eighty acres of land, later becoming the owner of one hundred acres on section 35, Brushy Mound township. He was diligent and enterprising in his business, as is proven by the fact that he now owns two hundred and forty acres in Cahokia township and forty acres on section 20, Honey Point township, he and his wife being also the owners of valuable properties in Gillespie. His place, known as the Walnut Lawn Farm, is highly improved with modern buildings and fruit, shade and ornamental trees and is one of the most pleasing features of the landscape in that part of the county. He has given considerable attention to breeding and raising high grade stock and his income from this source has added largely to his fortune. Although not actively engaged in framing for several years past, he takes a great interest in everyihting pertaining to agriculture and stock-raising and enjoys thoroughly the fruits of his wisely directed labors. He is president of the Gillespie Mutual Insurance Company, which carries two million, five hundred thousand worth of written insurance and is one of the most firmly established organizations of the kind in this part of the country. Its success has been largely due to the good judgment and unquestioned business ability of its president. In 1856, Mr. Anderson was married to Miss Lydia J. Huddleston, a native of Brushy Mound township. The following children were born to this union: John T., the eldest, lives at Terre Haute, Indiana, and has one child, Edna. Samuel F., a farmer of Cahokia township, has six children, Hazel, Audrey, George, Owen, Chester and Clarence. Clara is the wife of J. M. McGovern, of Bates county, Missouri. William Luther, who lives in Montgomery county, Illininois, has ten children. Ida married J. D. McReynolds, of Honey Point townhip, and they have three living children, William H., John M. and May, and two deceased. Charles, who married Tena Walschleger and is now in charge of the home farm, lost two children in infancy. The mother of these children died April 9, 1881, and in 1891 Mr. Anderson was married to Mrs. Sarah J. Miller, formerly Sarah J. Sanders and the widow of George Miller. By her first marriage she had three hcildren, one of whom, Dora, still survivies. This daughter is the wife of Samuel F. Anderson, one of the sons of Mr. Anderson of this review. Politically Mr. Anderson for a number of years gave his support to the pinciples and candidates of the populist party, but he is governed in voting largely by the nature of the questions at issue and the character of the candidates. He served for twenty-five years as school director and has most acceptably discharged the duties of various townhip offices. At the time of the Grange movement he was prominent as one of its earnest advocates and occupied the chair as master of the local Grange. Religiously he is affiliated with the United Baptist church. A liberal contributor to worthy objects, he has also devoted much time and energy to promoting the interestes of the community and is one of its most honored residents. He is tody one of th leading citizens of Macoupin county and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him. >>
Hi, Does anyone have access to an index of the men who served in the Civil War for Macoupin? I am looking for a William B. Hudspeth. Thanks..Cathy
To the Macoupin Co List, Finally found time to post the index for 1932. It will be in 4 parts...1 part per day...starting today. If anyone would like more info on any of these email me privately at: sjmiley@ckt.net Includes the name of the deceased, birth & death date. I have more than birth & death on most of these persons so if anyone would like more they can send me an email request personally. Other info might include (if it was available in obit): Place of death & birth, Spouse, marriage date, cemetery, & funeral home or where services were held, parents, & if there were children or siblings listed in obit. Some of these obits just gave age at death (yr, mo, da) instead of date of birth so in order to have a birthdate, I used a birthdate calculator on the Internet to come up with birthdate. This 'might' cause the 'day' of birth to be off by 1 day. If the obit gave the age as # of years old only, the birthdate will be listed as: Abt (then approximate yr of birth). If you see 'N/G' in the place of the birthdate, that means the age was not given in the obit. Also, if the female was married, the index will include both her maiden & married name. The '*' after the surname denotes her married name. 1932 Staunton Star Times Obituaries ADLER, George I 23 Sep 1856-6 Dec 1932 ALFELD, F.W.

Many new GenConnect Surname boards are going up. I know because I have added 7 surnames and 49 boards in the last couple of days. First, recd this msg from GenConnect a bit ago: Pam Carey <durp@one.net> Subject: *** Important GenConnect Announcement *** GenConnect will be down for a bit on Saturday night and Sunday morning, January 16 and 17, 1999, while it is being moved to a new box (bigger and faster). You will not have to change any links, there's nothing that you need do. This is simply to let you know that GenConnect will be down for a period. No "official" announcement will be made when it is back up. That will be obvious when the pages are once again available through a web browser. Yours, The GenConnect Team ------------------------------------------------ Here are a few instructions for posting to the GenConnect Surname Boards; the index to getting to the surname boards is at: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/indx/FamAssoc.html The official GenConnect Hints and Tips page: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/HINTS/index.html Posting to the GenConnect Boards: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/HINTS/posting.html And, adding... Repeating.....Do not post a query to any board except the query board. A query posted to other than a query board will be deleted. Please refer to copyright information at: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/HINTS/copyright.html Posting to an Obituary Board If the poster of an obituary disappears and I would like to get a copy of/ see the obituary then I need the name of the newpaper, the city and state of the newspaper and the date of the obituary. So remember to include this information with your obituaries. Posting to a Will or Deeds Board: If you post to a Will or Deeds Board, please include the county and state of the legal, at least the year of the legal, but important if known so I can check it at the courthouse would be the ledger number/letter and the page/index page where the legal is recorded. Pensions Board Again, dates and places as to where the the pension papers can be located. Query Board Put the MAIN surname(s) in the surname list. Don't put all surnames you are researching in the list of surnames. It is very discouraging when I use a search engine and the search find gives me nothing for the surname I am looking for. **Repeating.....Do not post a query to any board except the query board. A query posted to other than a query board will be deleted. I hope this helps some. I probably didn't cover enough here so if you have a question about posting to the GenConnect Boards, contact me. If unsure where to post, send me a sample of what you want to post and I could better tell you if and where it should go on the GenConnect boards or maybe better submitted to the USGenWeb archives under a county. Good luck and keep those posts going on the boards. Can't wait til a post appears on my long lost ancestors.

Here is a biography of William Anderson. The Andersons married into the Huddleston family. Both were Macoupin Co. Illinois pioneers, coming there in 1834. Thanks, Jim Windsor >From the HISTORY OF MACOUPIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, BIOGRAPHICAL AND PICTORIAL, Volume II, supervising editor, Charles A. Walker, published by: S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago, 1911 p. 122, 123 (photograph of William Anderson), 125: WILLIAM ANDERSON. William Anderson, president of the Gillespie Mutual Insurance Company and for many years a leading agriculturist of Macoupin county, whose farm is located on section 5, Cahokia township, is a native of Putname county, Indiana. He was born February 14, 1832, a son of Thomas and Mary (Scott) Anderson. The grandfather of our subject on the paternal side was James Anderson, a native of Virginia, who moved to Tennessee and later took up his abode in Indiana. He had good fighting blood in his veins and was one of the active participants in the Black Hawk war. He lived to the advanced age of eighty years. Thomas Anderson, the father of our subject, was the eldest son of James Anderson. He was born in Tennessee and removed with his parents to Indiana early in life, continuing there until 1834. Believing that more favorable opportunities lay westward, he came to Macoupin county, Illinois, and entered one hundred and sixty acres of land in Honey Point township. He died just as he was entering upon the prime of a useful career, at the age of thirty-five years. The maiden name of his wife was Mary Scott, and she came to Macoupin county in 1834. There were four children in their family, namely: William, of this review; James M., who was a resident of Terre Haute, Indiana, and is now deceased; Jesse F., of Portland, Oregon; and Joseph M., who was a resident of Missouri and is also deceased. William Anderson has been a resident of Macoupin county since 1834, a period of seventy-seven years, and there are few men within its borders who can claim a better acquaintance with its development during the period named. He possessed very limited advantages of school training, as he was left an orphan in his boyhood, but he has been an apt student in the great school of experience. He early became acquainted with farm work and found employment on farms and in sawmills, working for nine years in mills on Honey creek. In the years when it was necessary he carefully saved his money and he was thus enabled to purchase eighty acres of land, later becoming the owner of one hundred acres on section 35, Brushy Mound township. He was diligent and enterprising in his business, as is proven by the fact that he now owns two hundred and forty acres in Cahokia township and forty acres on section 20, Honey Point township, he and his wife being also the owners of valuable properties in Gillespie. His place, known as the Walnut Lawn Farm, is highly improved with modern buildings and fruit, shade and ornamental trees and is one of the most pleasing features of the landscape in that part of the county. He has given considerable attention to breeding and raising high grade stock and his income from this source has added largely to his fortune. Although not actively engaged in framing for several years past, he takes a great interest in everyihting pertaining to agriculture and stock-raising and enjoys thoroughly the fruits of his wisely directed labors. He is president of the Gillespie Mutual Insurance Company, which carries two million, five hundred thousand worth of written insurance and is one of the most firmly established organizations of the kind in this part of the country. Its success has been largely due to the good judgment and unquestioned business ability of its president. In 1856, Mr. Anderson was married to Miss Lydia J. Huddleston, a native of Brushy Mound township. The following children were born to this union: John T., the eldest, lives at Terre Haute, Indiana, and has one child, Edna. Samuel F., a farmer of Cahokia township, has six children, Hazel, Audrey, George, Owen, Chester and Clarence. Clara is the wife of J. M. McGovern, of Bates county, Missouri. William Luther, who lives in Montgomery county, Illininois, has ten children. Ida married J. D. McReynolds, of Honey Point townhip, and they have three living children, William H., John M. and May, and two deceased. Charles, who married Tena Walschleger and is now in charge of the home farm, lost two children in infancy. The mother of these children died April 9, 1881, and in 1891 Mr. Anderson was married to Mrs. Sarah J. Miller, formerly Sarah J. Sanders and the widow of George Miller. By her first marriage she had three hcildren, one of whom, Dora, still survivies. This daughter is the wife of Samuel F. Anderson, one of the sons of Mr. Anderson of this review. Politically Mr. Anderson for a number of years gave his support to the pinciples and candidates of the populist party, but he is governed in voting largely by the nature of the questions at issue and the character of the candidates. He served for twenty-five years as school director and has most acceptably discharged the duties of various townhip offices. At the time of the Grange movement he was prominent as one of its earnest advocates and occupied the chair as master of the local Grange. Religiously he is affiliated with the United Baptist church. A liberal contributor to worthy objects, he has also devoted much time and energy to promoting the interestes of the community and is one of its most honored residents. He is tody one of th leading citizens of Macoupin county and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him.

Quoting from this site http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacoup/m_histry.htm "The name Macoupin is of Indian extract, being shortened version of the Indian word "Macoupiana," which meant "white potato." The Indians used this name for the wild artichoke which grew in abundance along the waterways in the county. Long before the county was established, the main stream running through the county was named Macoupin Creek." I have never heard of Macoupin being a surname in Macoupin or that McColpin or McCorpin was a variation of Macoupin. That is about all I know on the subject. Good Luck. Gloria Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 02:24:01 EST From: OOREROOM@aol.com To: ILMACOUP-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <625968b4.36873211@aol.com> Subject: [ILMACOUP-L] Re: ILMACOUP-D Digest V98 #230 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Gloria, Thank you for your response to my query. I will try to make what I am looking for more clear. Jesse Job McColpin, who was born in Crawford County abt. 1831. He married Elizabeth Higgins in Crawford County in 1850. There are documents that spell his name as both McColpin and as McCorpin. I subscribe to a Scotch-Irish group and it is often discussed how S-I names are changed because many, if not most, people in that period of US History signed there name with an X or their mark. Being rather new at Illinois genealogy I was wondering if McCorpin or McCorpin may have been a variation of the Family name for which Macoupin County was named. <Don't know of a surname of any variation of Macoupin in Macoupin <County if that is what you mean?? <Macoupin has been spelled Macoupin since the formation of the county. <McCoupin, McCorpin and McColpin - are those surnames you are trying <to find?? <Please make clearer. And, if they are surnames, give us some <"about" dates. Thanks. Gloria <<There seems to be variations of the same name in 19th century Illinois. <>
