Brenda, would you know of any McKelvey's or Redman's buried there? David McKELVEY dmcke93304@msn.com Note: Unless told otherwise, sharing information with me is okay to share with others. Let's KEEP Genealogy FREE.

Is this a VFW or an American Legion Post? I am interested as an American flag appears on my ggrandfather's grave every holiday, THOMAS G. MILLER. So far I have been able to find what war he served in and I wrote to the American Legion Post several years ago but received no answer. If anyone has any way to solve this problem, please let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mebrimberry" <mebrimberry@mvn.net> To: <ILMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 6:57 AM Subject: [ILMARION] GAR > Does anyone have information related to HICKS GAR POST 255 KINMUNDY ILLINOIS?

To my knowledge it has never been published and I like you thought that was going to happen however, it did not. I went there looking for my aunt's grave and they were unable to find it for me. I am very, very interested in this cemetary as I have many relatives buried there and am not able to get to walk that cemetary. Should you find anything more info on this, please let me know.

Brenda, Has Elmwood Cemetery ever been published, as other Marion Co. cemeteries? I thought I read some time ago that it had been read, and was going to be published. I, too, have lots of relatives there.

Hi, Does anyone on the list have access to cemetery books for the cemeteries in Centralia? I am looking for the cemetery in which Thomas O'Laughlin is buried. Thanks, Virginia

Does anyone have information related to HICKS GAR POST 255 KINMUNDY ILLINOIS? Especially interested in the membership roster. Thanks

The oldest City Cemetery is Elmwood. It is quite large and dates back into the the 1880's I believe. What surnames are you searching? Sincerely, Brenda

I have several HOLTON ancestors who were buried in Centralia anywhere from 1874 to the 1930's. Could someone please suggest if there is one particular cemetery I should be looking in? Thank you!

Thank you so much. Helen in Idaho

Thank you Nancy, for your listing of the Pearsons. Do you have an Absolum Pearson born sometime in the 1820s or 1830s listed anywhere? Dave

Helen, In the Kinmundy Township, Evergreen Cemetery listings there is the following listing: Row 41, Lot 13 Eva Pearson, daughter of C.G. & E, d. 21 March 1872, 5 Mn 11 Da. Row 41, Low 14 B. H. Pearson, Chaplin 11th Ill Inf. CW, no other data. There are a number of Nichols listed in the index of my book #2, none with your first names/initials and the majority are buried at Elder Cemetery in Meachum Township. I have heard of Sandy Branch Cemetery, but it is not in Kinmundy proper or it would be in my book. Hope this helps.
