I live out of state, so can't help with the pictures, but I sure would love it if someone could take a picture of my great aunt and uncle's (Clem and Rickie Dahman and their daughter Edith Dahman) gravestones in Diamond Grove Cem. in Jacksonville, IL. My mom and I went round in circles and almost missed the Burgoo in Arenzville trying to find the gravestones. We had the grave numbers, and I tried to draw a map from what I found at the Jacksonville Public Library, but never could find their stones. I have a picture of Hie KRUSE's tombstone in Cass County, but I don't have a scanner. My surnames are: DYER and KRUSE. >From: RWRidenour@aol.com >Reply-To: ILMAGA-L@rootsweb.com >To: ILMAGA-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [ILMAGA] Fw: New Online & a question for List Subscribers >Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 23:28:54 EST > >I think it would be a good idea.

Bev, I noticed that you are researching the surname Jones in Greene Co. Would this by chance be Evan Jones and Mary Jane Clark Jones? I am great granddaughter of their son James Evans Jones. Sincere Thanks Kimberly Nappier Ford, Jones, Jaynes, Johnisee, Clark

Yes, please do cemeteries. I am interested in cemeteries around Jacksonville, Morgan Co., IL

When do you want to start??

That would be great Cheryl - don't worry about size so much, but do send them in either .tif or .jpg format - I can then resize if I need to.

I have a digital camera with color or B/W options. I would be willing to help in taking pictures. I work during the school year and have June & July off. I will be taking classes this summer, but I can probably work around that and be able to help. Pat Mileham Riverton, IL

Pat That would be wonderful - was just wishing (to myself) that there were more list members living nearby who would be willing to "adopt a cemetery" for documentation. I know that some of the old stones we read back in the early 80s have deteriorated further - some are impossible to read at this point. Think about which cemetery you'd like to work on - you made my day! ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: [ILMAGA] Fw: New Online & a question for List Subscriber Author: ILMAGA-L@rootsweb.com at ~Internet Date: 1/30/2001 10:28 AM I have a digital camera with color or B/W options.

The Texas Wise County site has done this with digital photo's. They are great about helping. I can send the address if you want. I had thought to do this in Pike if I ever get a digital camera. Another thing we were thinking about and may work for you also is to have someone at school do a cemetery at a time as a community service project. I don't know if it would fly or not but its worth looking into. Go to the TXWISE county site and see what they have done and then contact them. They have done most of their graveyards now and will really give you some good hints on how to display them , what program they are using, what errors they made to beginning with ect.

Hi Shirley, I love the idea, that would be a big job for you. I feel Washington Thompson, was buried there, he had family there. I wish I lived closer, I would love to help. My thanks for all the wonderful information you and Mary Ann put on the net. Lorma Ebaugh

Well,you know it's a great idea to me. Went to the cemetery site and just by chance I scrolled to Hezekiahs,but it wasn't marked as having a photo,so I clicked it anyway and low and behold there it was. Wow!You're good at this Shirley. Maybe if you marked it with (Stone) than everyone would know that it had a headstone photo just as you did with the (Obit).I think it's great,you get marker inscription,photo and possibly and obit in one site. Great thinking.

Hi Shirley, YES! YES! YES! Please do ask for donations for headstone pictures and put them on the pages. Please see the cemeteries I have on my Huerfano County page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~cohuerfa/cemeteries.htm Last summer I spent almost every weekend out filming the cemeteries, ended up with over 3,000 photos, and still more to go. Hope to finish up this Spring. To date, all the photos are not up yet, still working on that. Someday these stones will be gone due to deterioration, vandals, etc. So it is a very worthwhile endeavor to have the photos of them online. My Bonds family came from Morgan County and unfortunately I don't have a single headstone photo of any of them, and I have never been there. Someday...
