Does anybody out there know how to gain access to the premises? My wife and I were in the vicinity in late May 2004 for other purposes and thought we'd stop there to take down dates, etc., on a couple of her Swihart and Ulrey ancestors or ggg-grand-uncles, etc., but could not find a way in. If we were looking at the correct place, the cemetery is atop a small wooded hill surrounded by privately owned farmland, with no road access to the site. Nobody was home at either of the two adjoining farm houses who might control the property and we didn't want to trespass across their lands, but it was darned frustrating to be so close and be forced to abandon the attempt. Any insights into how to physically access the site, or who to contact for permission to access, would be MOST welcome. Thanks! John Muller Woodridge, Illinois Email: jamuller3@comcast.net
