Hi: I got some great information now I have to flesh it out. Does anyone have a cemetery book for the Tower Hill Cemetery? If so is an Alta Heady mentioned or any Heady for the area. Thanks, Sue from Idaho (a lot of Sue's on this list:}).

William Turner is buried 1883 Spain cemetery. Volume IV, page 71 of Boedecker. William Turner was born Oct, __ Died Aug. 1883 (Homemade sandstone slab, very hard to read) There is also a Hubert Turner, a Wiley H. Turner and a Jessee Lee, son of F. E. & M. J. Turner next to him. Further, there is a note that "two north of above (Jessee) marked with fragments of sandstone." No women named Turner. If he married in IL, you should be able to get info online. Birth and death certificates were not required and are rare before about 1918. There are partial mortality lists for some areas, but as I recall, they are for census years, and 1883 does not fit. Hope this helps. SHERRY

Information is from Volume 3 of Boedecker's Shelby County Cemetery books. Page 33. Recorded 1971. Alta A. dau of A. J. & M. A. Heady Died Oct. 28, 1877 Aged 19 yrs. 8 mo. 25 ds. She is in the Methodist Cemetery. Book says, "The Methodist Cemetery is located in Sec. 4, Tower Hill Twp. on the H. S. Barringer farm. It is approximately one mile west and one and one fourth miles north of the Rt. 16 curve north of Tower Hill, or5 one fourth mile south of the Knobbs Church. It is fenced on the sourth, west, and north sides with the road forming the east boundary. It is about the size of two city lots. It is cared for by the township. There were a few unmarked graves." Note that there were no other Heady names in the cemetery. SHERRY

Hi Sue, The book "The History of Tower Hill" caught my interest. Would you look and see if there is anything on Baldwin or Baldens.

NSDAR, is for the first time, offering the general public a Patriot Lookup Service directly from our National web site. Now Available FREE DAR PATRIOT LOOKUP SERVICE Do you think you have a Revolutionary patriot (male or female) in your family tree? The DAR will search their database of proven Revolutionary patriots free of charge. This service is available at www.dar.org Kathy Conard Florida DAR VIS Vice Chairman, Website Development [email protected] www.fldar.org

What it's doing is sending you a "copy" of what you have sent out. Since this is an open list anything you put on it will also come to you.

It is a good idea to recheck the info the DAR has if you do not want the wrong ancestor in your line. They have my 3rd GGrandfather as the son of a man who is not his father. They will just take anything I guess if someone wants in the DAR. This was so easy to prove wrong I was able to do it from home with info gathered from the census & bible records over the internet. Just check their info if you do not want the wrong person as your ancestor.

Sue, I have "The History of Tower Hill and Vicinity" by Homer Eiler. There are ten references to Baines family members in it. If you are interested please let me know. Sue in Oklahoma

Hi Susan: I'm a bit confused:} Did you check the 1860 for Henry K. Baines. I know you checked the 1880 (I did too) and the 1875 Atlas. Is that on line? Could you check Shelbyville. Henry was the Postmaster for Tower Hill in 1880. Don't know if he owned any property as I haven't gotten that far in my research yet:} Thanks for looking!!
