Is there anyone willing to volunteer to go out to Bunker (Indian Prairie Cemetery) near Rinard for Cara? I guess I was brain dead when I replied to her email because I thought she lived in Mt. Vernon, IL but as she indicated, she lives in Mt. Vernon, Ohio.

I was born in Fairfield, Il but have lived in Ohio and Florida for the past 50 years. Thank you for the information, I do have relatives that live near St. Louis and also Champaign, Urbana area. They aren't interested. I will save your info and hopefully I will get to Illinois one of these days and look for myself. Much appreciated.

Since you live in Mt. Vernon, I expect you know how to go out Rt. 15 towards Fairfield and turn north on Rt 45 towards Cisne,right ?? Or maybe you know another way to get the the northern part of Wayne County. Here's a link to a map of where Rinard is: http://www.mapblast.com/(qbdbiibxm0dbcx55opabxpfl)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=38.57071%2c-88.46144&A=41.56667&P=|7691B|&TI=Rinard%2c+Wayne%2c+Illinois%2c+United+States Or you can click on the following linK http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilwayne/cem/bland-books.htm Then click on the work "Map" and look for "141" which is Bunker Cemetery location. Since I live in Denver, CO area, I'm lucky to make one trip a year back to the area. Most of my relatives are in the cemeteries around Jefferson County and Wayne County now so I have no one to stay with when I make a trip back there. Although I was born in Mt. Vernon myself, I've never lived there except for a short time when I was in kindergarden while my dad was overseas. My dad was in the Army for 20 years so we moved all over. Both mom and dad were from Bluford but they're both dead now and buried at Thomason Cemetery at Wayne City. Sandy Cara Suchman wrote: > My greatgrandfather Lycurgus Hobson Whitlock/ wife Mary P.
