Cemeteries in Herrin I'm looking for the grave of my Grandmother's youngest sister, Mary Laskowski (also spelled Laskoski/Loskoski). She died at abt age three during the influenza epidemic (1918?). She was taken to the hospital in Herrin, where she died. Her parents chose to bury her in Herrin rather than transporting her body home to Royalton, IL. My Grandmother only knows that Mary was buried in Herrin and nothing more. As the family was not wealthy, it is very possible that she does not have a tombstone. Can anyone tell me of a community cemetery in Herrin, or as the family was Polish Catholic, any Catholic or Russian Orthodox cemeteries where she may have been buried? Much appreciated. BURTON, CARR, TOLLEY Looking for information on Flora BURTON, b June 1867, daughter of William R. and Margaret (TOLLEY) BURTON. She married John Ewing CARR, December 24, 1902 and they resided in Williamson Co. Thanks Jane Pate Nannie Holsapple-Lane-First Looking for any information about Nannie Holsapple. She was first married to Walter Lane, who was a telegrapher for the railroad. He died sometime around 1909. They had two sons born in Vermillion Co. Gerold and Henry were their names. Sometime between 1910 and 1917 she met Jess First and had another son, Heram Jasper "Jack" First, in Bush,IL. Don't know if she actually married Jess First. When she died, we think in the 1950's, she was in a nursing home in or around Marion. She was buried in a cemetery, and years later when family tried to find her, they were told by the caretaker that a road had been built through the area where she was. Does this cemetery sound familiar to anyone??? If so, please let me know the name of it. Also any names of williamson county nursing homes in the 50's would be greatly appreciated! kcsfirstfam@earthlink.net
