I have no Proctor's in my list. Would like to know what sign Joann is talking about - please write me. Almost everyone in the Wheeler Cemetery is related either by birth or marriage. Sometimes it is called The Huddleston Cemetery. My interest in genealogy was sparked in the Wheeler Cemetery. I was there with my grandmother and she was telling me how I was related to the different individuals. I saw Jehu Wheeler's stone and became fascinated. Ran to the car and got paper and pen and started writing down what my grandmother was saying - still have those notes. We than had to go back to all the other cemeteries we had visited in Macoupin so I could write down what the stones said. My grandmother was delighted. Just wish she was still here so I could show here all I have found on these relatives she so loved. Wanted to name my son Jehu - he is so happy I didn't do that. Happy Hunting, Kathie
