Linda Did you find anything about Asbury Chuch or it's cemetery in rural Hettick? I haven't been able to find out who is really responsible for the cemetery other than the family that mows it for free.

Courthouse I looked for any deed to the Virden Church of the Brethren, incorporated in 1912, which apparently no one has ever had. I looked under "B" for Brethren and Baptist, "C" for Church, "V" for Virden, and thought about "G" for German Baptist Church. I noted several deeds between David C. Vaniman and Trustees of the Church of the Brethren and Trustees of the German Baptist Church for other lands. Surely, I thought, such deeds would not be listed under "T" for Trustees! Wrong!!! I found not only the deeds for the Virden Brethren church property in Grantee Book 21, but noted many others for Trustees of Hettick Church, I.O.O.F., Stults Burying Ground (Palmyra), churches in Carlinville, Modesto, and elsewhere, school districts, banks, companies, and many other entities. Thus, at least in this 1900-1920 period, it might be wise to look under "T" for trustees of those groups.

Hi, I wasn't taking notes on anything but the Brethren Church deeds, but I sure did notice all the other trustee items. I looked at Grantee Books 20 and 21 only today, so if someone wants to pursue that, they should keep the book numbers in mind. Sorry. I also noticed a half page or so, located after some other initial letter (like "C", maybe") that was nothing but affidavits!
