Kathleen, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I have just completed computerizing all the records for Peniel Cemetery which is located just south and east of Joy IL in Millersburg Township, Mercer County, Illinois. Some of the names you were inquiring about were familiar, so I looked up the info I had on them and have listed it below. I have recently walked the entire cemetery and recorded all the information from the tombstones. Some of the information could be listed in parentheses which means that info isn't on the stone, but was located in other records such as burial permit or some older record books. Bateman, George Francis (infant) born/died 10-15-1899 son of EM & EC located at block 12 lot 1 with a single headstone Bateman, Eliza C born 1869 died (3-20)1950 located at block 12 lot 2 with a double headstone Bateman, Edward M born 1875 died (3-12) 1954 located at block 12 lot 3 with a Mason symbol on the center of the stone Crapnell, Infant A E date of birth unknown date of death 8-28-1894 daughter of AE & SF located at block 7 lot 3 with a single headstone Crapnell, Carl (Milton) born 10-25-1903 died 8-61-1923 son of FE & Minnie B Crapnell located at block 13 lot 8 with a single headstone Crapnell, Minnie B born 1883 died (9-9)1953 located at block 13 lot 11 with a single headstone Crapnell, Floyd E born 1878 died (1-25)1963 located at block 13 lot 12 with a single headstone Crapnell, Cleona (G) born 1905 died (5-8)1962 located at block 14 lot 4 with a double headstone Royal Neighbors of America (RN of A) In Memoriam small metal plaque on base of stone Crapnell, Earl C (Chester) born 1902 died (3-10)1980 located at block 14 lot 5 with a double headstone burial permit book gives name as Chester Earl Griffith, Ruth Pearl born 9-3-1881 died 4-16-1895 located at block 7 lot 1 with a single headstone Griffith, Edward date of birth unknown died 12-5-1885 located at block 7 lot 4 with a double headstone aged 51 yr 23 days - small Husband stone north of double headstone monument Griffith, Elizabeth Church born 3-25-1838 died 8-11-1887 located at block 7 lot 6 with a double headstone Wife of Edward Griffith small Elizabeth stone south of double headstone monument Stone in place but these people are still living: Betty Jean Griffith born 3-7-1928 still living married 12-24-1950 Charles Otis Griffith born 8-9-1924 still living married 12-24-1950 double headstone in place for them at block 95 lots 9 & 10 Willits, Adda Kiddoo born 1862 died 1894 Adda Kiddoo wife of C H Willits located at block 2 lot 14 with a single headstone Willits, Elias M born 1860 died (6-14)1946 located at block 2 lot 15 with a single headstone Willits, Omer born 1883 died (12-27)1968 located at block 18 lot 7 with a double headstone Willits, Mary E born 1869 died 1922 located at block 18 lot 8 with a double headstone Willits, John Arnold born 1908 died (12-24)1928 located at block 18 lot 9 with a single headstone Willits, Joseph Robert born 1912 died 1937 located at block 18 lot 10 with a single headstone Morrow, Florence L (Willits) born 1882 died (7-23)1957 located at special block 7 lot 1 with a single headstone the special blocks are located just south of the church in the cemetery If you have any further questions, please let me know.
