    1. Cemetery Damage
    2. Robin Petersen
    3. Hi everyone, In today's Peoria Journal Star, there was an article regarding the Manito cemetery, in Mason Co, Illinois. It seems that recently vandals toppled headstones and broke numerous other markers. This is one of the oldest, most historical cemeteries in the area. The most severely damaged was a marble monument for Bartholomew F. Seelye, born Jan. 25, 1825, died April 11, 1884. The Manito Township Supervisor, James Fleming, is trying to contact a relative of the Seelye family. Hope someone can help! Robin Schuyler County ILSCHUYL-L McDonough County ILMCDONO-L
