Yea, it's a great place. The photos listed were just the ones I ran across accidentally. I found others including two sets of Proctors, but John C. is the only one I am familiar with and I couldn't find his name anywhere. They were still probably related. I wish there was a comprehensive map. Maybe the office has one, I don't know. Springdale's website has a list of names showing what section they are buried in and GenealogyTrails.com has a map with 25 names marked. I'll have to go through those when I get some time.

Though we haven't been "exploring" there for some time, it once was a Sunday afternoon ritual for Ziggy and I. Well, on nice days, anyway. I'll never forget seeing a HUGE herd of deer wandering amongst the gravestones. I was totally awed. I mean, growing up in the country, deer were a common sight...but to see 'em in the middle of Peoria like that was a big suprise. Isn’t it wonderful?

Wonder if that's someone famous, to have had a street named after him? Behind Zeller’s marker, to the right, is one labeled “Gift”.
