    1. [ILMONTGO] Forgotten cemeteries
    2. I don't know what cemeteries you are refering to exactly but one "forgotten cemtery" that I know of is Blooming Grove Cemetery aka Butler Cemetery aka Wiley Cemetery. It is just West of Butler in Montgomery co and is totally unaccessable. If not for friendly neighbors, I never could have found it even though it should be visible from the road. It is totally overgrown with weeds and brambles to the point that you can't even get within fify feet of a very large monument. It is so sad. I have been told however that it is set to be cleaned up next spring. Anyone on the list know who is buried there or in any of the other cemeteries around Butler? Cherry Grove, Ware's Grove, Montgomery Church, and the name unknown cemetery N.W. of Butler? Sue
