You'll need to turn them around to fit your starting point. "From Saint Louis, MO are to take Route 67 north through Alton and Godfrey, IL. Turn right on Route 111, which leads to Route 267 at the north edge of Godfrey. At Medora, IL, Route 111 veers to the east, stay on Route 267 going north toward Jacksonville, IL. About 10 miles north of Greenfield, IL you cross the Morgan County Line. Route 267 takes a sweeping "S" curve beginning just a few yards from the County Line. At the west end of that curve look straight ahead toward the west, you will see some gravestones among the trees. There is a tiny, hard to see, gravel road which goes west very close to the end of the curve, it's Coal Creek Road, turn left. Then immediately make another left turn on to another small gravel road that will pass on the west side of the cemetery. Make another left turn, there is a culvert in the ditch which allows access to the ce! metery. In dry weather it's safe to park just across the culvert, but you shouldn't drive further due to holes in the road. Coal Creek Road is within one mile from the Morgan County Line." I have a few questions to help place your husband. You mentioned Lawson, is this Lawson GUNN married to Mary? And do you know where they buried? This would be Lawson GUNN, son on Reuben and Mary. At the the GUNN Cemetery you will see the graves of Lawson's brothers James and John and their wives, and a lot more family members. My husband is descended from the eldest brother Charles GUNN. Also, you mentioned Dollie, is this Dollie GUNN married to Robert GUNN? I show Dollie died in Missouri, but know nothing about her husband. I believe he remarried to Almarinda GUNN? Do you know where they are buried? Thanks for any information. Donna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
