Well, Jan, I have to change my directions a little so that you can find the Clore Cemetery. I am posting this to the ILRANDOL site for anyone who might be interested. CRAIN and CLORE CEMETERIES To reach these cemeteries, coming from Chester, turn left off of State Rt. 3, first road past the swimming pool, (COLE PLACE). Follow this road about 3 to 5 miles. Both cemeteries are on the right hand side of the road. The cemeteries are located on the banks of Mary's River. What I believe to be the Clore Cemetery, is just before you pass under the railroad bridge, on the right hand side of the road. The Crain Cemetery is located about 1/4 mile from Chester, just before you get to the Clore Cemetery. You must cross the railroad tracks, go back along the edge of the wood, holding to your right, until you come to the river. The cemetery is on the edge of the river bank, 50 yrards up river, with only one or two stones showing. Near a large cedar tree is the site of 2 graves. One name could not be made out, the other was: (1988) Willie Crain b. Nov. 15, 1850 d. Oct. 3, 1851 Son of Margaret Crain. In the Clore Cemetery: Abram Clore b. Jan. 1, 1801 d. Jan. 3, 1877 Sarah (his wife) b. 1806 d. 1845 James Franklin clore 10 days d. Apr. 8, 1909 David Rictis b. Mar. 12, 1819 d. Apr. 21, 1869 Permella (his wife) b. Mar. 20, 1823 d. Feb. 2, 1905 Virginia Mansker provided the above information for me, but I don't know where she copied it from.

I hope that you did not make a trip just for me to look through the cemetery books. On the map that I sent, all of the squares with lines drawn in them are property owned by Abram Clore or his sons. I would expect the cemetery to be on some piece of his property. I don't have a county map of present day Randolph, but I think there are no roads on the property. There is one road running east to west north of the property, but I have no name for it. I am planning a trip to Randolph this summer. I want to trace all of the property after the deaths of the Clores and see if any cemetery is mentioned in any of the deeds when the property was sold. There are most likely no stones showing or someone would know about this burial area. The deeds would be my only chance Thank you so much for trying. Maybe this summer I can find out more. Jan Creek
