Thanks Kathy, I'm assuming they are buried in Lockport Protestent cemetery. Luellas mother(Josephine) and Father(Amos Jr.) are right in the middle of the cemetery(have photo). My 5G Grandfather(Amos Stanton) Father and 5G Grandmother(Prudence) are supposedly bureied there as well. The records show that H.G Burdick(son) has a Lot 15 Block 3(North 1/2 of lot, Graves 5-6-7-8). Couldnt find it. Anyone who has any information on the desendents of Amos and Josephine or knows Lockport cemetery feel free to contact me. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: zavada [mailto:zavada@uti.com] Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2002 6:51 PM To: ILWILL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILWILL] request census lookup surname BRUCE & BURDICK For Dave, Don't have access to 1910 but did find the following: Joliet City Directories 1884-1892 BRUCE,Eben S. 1888- works for Barrett & Son shipping clerk res.
