    1. Re: [INLAKE] cemeteries ...Update on Rev Soldier
    2. This is in regard to the cemetery below this email...I wrote to Doris Siroda, the person who has actually walked all the cemeteries in Lake County for the NWIGS cemetery books, and asked her about the cemetery below. She had this to say: "Actually if you look in the Center Township of Lake County Book we have it listed in there. They moved some of the stones at least to a corner at 131st & Fairbanks including the Revolutionary War Veteran. They made kind of a memorial corner for them, I am not sure all of the people got buried but we did find it there and included the information in that book at the Library."
