I have been getting error 504-gateway time out on my messages. But anyway, IGHS((Illiana) have all the cemeteries "read" in Vermilion County, If they didn't have a stone then you won't find them listed. The Known Burials is an index formed from these readings. There is a sexton listed on papemortuary.com web site and if he has records going back that far, then you're lucky. Have you tried probate records? IGHS also has probate records and land records. It might give you info?
