Hello All, About three years back, a man on this list from up by Chicago, I believe his name was PRATT, or at least he was looking for PRATT ancestors, wrote to me and asked about the cemetery which turned out to be four miles east of Bradford, IL at the Boyd's Grove church. I checked out the cemetery for him, and he later came down with an old friend, Dr. Baker, who is the son of an old but deceased friend of mine, Dr. Eloise Parker Davis. It's terrible, but once I lost all my old e-mail addresses when I changed my computer, I couldn't remember his name at all. I hope he reads this, as if he's interested, since we have moved from Kewanee, IL the 17 miles to Harpers' Woods, two miles west of Bradford, IL, we have gotten highly interested in the history of our land, and I have been writing a history of it. In the process, I came upon quite a bit about the Pratts down here in Stark County in the early 1830's -40's, thought he might be interested. Sorry that this doesn't have anything to do with Mendon. Thanks, Betty Sullivan RR #1, Box 13 1-B Bradford, IL 61421 bettysul@kewanee.com
