    1. [ILMCLEAN-L] Storey and Lightholder in Chenoa

    3. I am searching for the burial place of Mary (Lightholder) Storey and her daughter Harriet or Hannah. Mary married Joseph Storey in Peoria Co., IL in 1867, with the ceremony performed by a Justice of the Peace. The Lightholders lived in 1860 in Richwoods Twp., Peoria Co., and in 1865 in Radnor Twp., Peoria Co. It is believed Mary and perhaps her daughter died in 1877, place unknown. A correspondent wrote me that yet another researcher back in the 1970s was looking for their burial places in Radnor Twp., Peoria Co. where both the Lightholders and the Storeys lived in the 1860s, possibly in or near a now extinct town named Orange Prairie. However, by 1870 the Lightholders and some Storeys and a related family, the Elsons, had moved to Chenoa, McLean Co., IL. It is possible that Mary and her daughter were buried there instead. Does anyone have information on cemeteries in and around Chenoa? I descend from Mary's brother Thomas Lightholder. Most of my Lightholder records! are from Livingston Co. where they lived 1880+, and most of the family is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Pontiac, Livingston Co., since the family was Catholic.
