Just a note regarding the Stone Church Cemetery located 2 miles north of Rosiclare, Il. I grew up just about 300 yards south of the cemetery. I used to play in that cemetery as a child. It is out in the country and we owned some land near the cemetery where my father built our home in 1940. There is a frame church house at the cemetery. It used to be of stone, thus the name of the cemetery. The land for the church and the cemetery was given as a gift by Isaac Hawkins. Isaac's son married my father's sister, so Isaac's son was my uncle by marriage. Uncle Ernie Hawkins passed away Oct. 1995 at the age of 83 yrs. If I find additional information, I will forward it to you. Best wishes, Jim Irby --part1_d910b61d.24eeb1d2_boundary--
