RHPS of Rochester, IL will hold its second cemetery walk at the Rochester Cemetery on the afternoon of Sunday, October 15th. We are hoping to locate more information about the Twist Family of Rochester, whose daughter Ella married William Troxell in 1890. She died in 1891. We are also looking for information on Daniel Barr, an early Rochester settler, who is also buried in the Rochester Cemetery. We have a very limited time to access information so, if anyone has anything on these families and would be kind enough to forward it to me, or to tell me how I may find it online, I would be very grateful. Dorthy Ross, Rochester.
