    1. [ILWILL-L] John and Drucilla Rank

    3. My great great grandparents, John and Drucilla Rank, are found in Reed Twp, Will Co, IL in the 1870 Census. John was an engineer in a coal mine. Their children were James, Charles (my great grandpa--he was boarding with the local schoolteacher), Anna, Amelia, and Ellen. They lived in or near Braidwood, IL. An 1872 Town Directory lists a J. Rankine as miner b shaft. This may have been my John Rank as sometimes his last name was spelled Ranke. As I have been unable to locate John on the 1880 Census, I was wondering if there are any published cemetery records for Reed Twp and Custer Twp. Thanks, Cheryl
