The society has directions to all of the cemetaries in Saline county. Also there are books with listings for many of the cemetaries. The city hall is across the street and down one block. -----Original Message----- From: William Johnson <padrewc@home.com> To: ILSALINE-L@rootsweb.com <ILSALINE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 7:58 PM Subject: Re: [ILSALINE-L] COONS, Isaac/RICE, Mary E. (SEARCHING) Sharlene: I understand there is a Historical Society across the street from the Court House. That should be a good place to start. There are many cemeteries in Saline County and I imagine they could locate them for you. In the County Clerk's Office, ask for Stephanie as she is really a great help. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharlene Meyer" <sharmeye@usmo.com> To: <ILSALINE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 4:52 PM Subject: [ILSALINE-L] COONS, Isaac/RICE, Mary E.
