  • Historical Society Dan Darling Thanks for posting the photo notes for Lewey Barringer. I got his name corrected on the 3 photos and got them linked to his cemetery records. http://history.montgomeryco.com/Def...&tabid=981

    • Dan DarlingGreat. Thanks. I'd not seen the Baseball Team photo before; interesting though that Elmer Darnell & Lewey who later formed D&B Clothiers together were team mates in High School.

  • Carole M. Krummel My late husband, John Cary Krummel, is listed as a veteran of the Korean era, which is not correct. He was commissioned in the Navy in May 1959 and retired in July 1979, which puts him in the Vietnam era.

    • Historical SocietyCarole - The Veterans list we have online came from the Montgomery County Clerks office. The era assigned is determined by the date of enlistment based on their military discharge papers which were registered at the Courthouse. Anyone enlisting between 1/1/1950 and 12/31/1960 is assigned Korea era. Anyone enlisting between 1/1/1961 and 12/31/1981 is assigned Vietnam era.

  • Brian Pierick Jeffrey B. Dunn Jeff, First of all, I wanted to thank you for posting my Grandmother's headstone picture. Mryle Blades. I've never been to Hillsboro, but will be in Springfield this coming weekend and think I will make a trip down there. I'm hoping you can correct the spelling of her first name in your posting. You have Myrtle Blades and it should be Mryle Blades. Thanks much.

The Forgotten Cemeteries

Forgotten Cemeteries of Montgomery County Illinois
 
The Forgotten Cemeteries title is in tribute to all the cemetery readings done by Walter Sanders and his high school students in the 1940's. Hopefully we can carry on the tradition and work together to locate and read all the abandoned cemeteries in Montgomery County!
