Manhatten Library does have some info on Wallingford. When you enter immediately look to your right, in the 2nd aisle there are 2 shelves of local history. Some family histories and been donated, some school projects, things you will not find elsewhere. Kevin Crawford has the records of the Wilton Center Cemetery tho is hard to contact, always working. 1-815-478-4066. My family had a very elderly friend, John Thayer? He was very old back in the '40's. I'm sure he had passed away by l950. He lived in a big house on a hill, had a chair under a tree and would walk down the hill with 2 canes and family helping him. Do you recall where the Thayer farm was? Arlene

For Arlene, The Farm was on the wallingford road -just south of the village of Manhattan. Wallingford road curves east off south cedar road then goes south.
