we did report it to the police last weekend. They are doubling up their watch. We went back to the cemetery and discovered 2 of the plaques had been replaced. However, the police said they would notify the family we suspected; 3 hours later I went back and two of the plaques had been replaced with new ones. I think I was right. at least they were replaced. Maybe it won't happen again. Lori Chaffin <lorilchaffin@gmail.com> wrote: Brenda Lee, This is so sad to hear. I do hope you and your cousin contacted the police in the area and reported it. I know it won't help to replace what was destroyed but they might be able to track down who did it, and they might also be able to beef up patrols so maybe it doesn't happen to any other graves there. Another thought is to start a fund to replace the markers. This is happening for some of my husbands ancestors. The man that started the fund posted it to message boards and contacted people that he found searching the same family line. Just something to think about, Lori Chaffin On Sat, Apr 5, 2008 at 9:28 PM, brenda lee wrote: > I went with my cousins to the Secor, Ill. cemetery last wednesday.

On April 19, 1858, Michael DEMSKE bought from John & Louisa Vanderbosh 1/4 of lot #1 in Clark's Addition to Kendallville on the corner of Sheridan and Mitchell Streets. In August 1861, he sold this lot to John KIME. Anyone know what John Kime this was?
