Marie,
Here is the information you
requested:
From Cemeteries
of Brown County, Illinois
Westside Cemetery pp.
371-406
[pp. 405 and 405 are the
Ravenscroft/Yates plot in Westside cemetery. Persons buried in this plot are
listed in the cemetery record twice. I have combined the double listings into
one for each of the persons. This eliminates some of the confusion about the
burials.]

Hi Ken and
Laurie,
Hope all is well
with both of you. I'm wondering if you could again help me with some
lookups in the Cemetery Book -- I first did a one-name lookup and did not locate
the names. I'm quite confident that all the Ravenscrofts on pages 371 and
406 are related as are all Martins on page 341.

You helped me about two
years ago with some McNary and Watson lookups. My offer to do lookups (if
I can repay the favor) still stands.
Thanks in advance for
your help -- the Brown County site is very informative and I visit
often!
Best
regards,
Marie
