    1. Re: [ILPIKE] Holford Cemetery
    2. Owens-Smith, Bill
    3. The Holford Cemetery is in the center of section 15 of Hardin township. There is no road to it, however, about 5 years ago I drove my truck to within 100 yars or so of the cemetery on a farm lane. On the East side of section 15 is the road which runs south from the town of Time. The farm lane began at that road and ran due West toward the middle of section 15. The cemetery was surrounded by large trees and the few remaining tombstones are there. Isaac Holford's tombstone is a large flat stone. The incription was clear. The stone was leaning against a tree. When Isaac died in 1854 he lived very near this cemetery. He had 40 acres which became the farm of his son Joseph. The 40 acres were the NE quarter of the SW Quarter of Section 15. When I was a teenager in the mid or late 1950's my father and I went squirell hunting in the Holford cemetery. There were several more tomestones there at that time than five years ago. I would love to exchange information with anyone interested in Isaac Holford, his wives and their children. Isaac and Mary Holford were my gt-gt-gt-gt-gt-grandparents.
