While I'm not totally unfamiliar with Vermilion County, I am not sure where Dodson Cemetery is. I'm guessing it is somewhere near Bismarck from the information you've given. I do know where Leonard Cemetery is, and know that the airport is just off of Bowman Avenue north of the city. I also know where Walnut Corners Church/Cemetery is. Is Dodson anywhere close? Thanks so much for this!!! BTW, the James W. and Mary family in the 1880 census is the correct family from what I know. That the Mary-in-Dodson's information correlates well with what I know gives me real hope here! Joe
