It's just doming iback home in a wild strip oJ timber and -underbrush, opposite the home icf Roy E'rewer is what is known as the "Duke" cemetery.

Estimating among some SO to 70 graves; there are firom information received and. personal investigation 5 soldiers in a ad stage we have the location of four soldiers, however, the grave of William Bositwick, who did his bit with his bipthers, Dudley and Stephen on the good old Frigate General Bragg cannot be foiind, while he fought for a double canse, his personal liberty as well as the preserva- of this; Union he too has fought in vain. We find also buried here, Richard Laity, who was born iu the'year 1790 and died in 1865. 'Mary, the wife at Henry Welch, died in 1857. James and Susanna Jenkins, in the years 1801 aaul 1798, ire ape e- John and James Quails, who died in 1840 and 45, respectively.

Anthony Fraley died in 69 at the age of 73 years. 'Marshall died at he age of 31 in 1S62. The monuments and markers iu this cemetery a.re practically all lying flat an r.he guound and covered with natural accumulations ol' years. It is unbelievable that, in' this civ- 'Misled age a sacred ftlaee of thia kind could reach its present stage. ILiet our American Legion Bioys here take warning and establish at the earliest day possi'ble a nia.rker that is distinctive and different to indicate the grave of a departed comrade so that in years to nome there will be no need of organizing searching parties to locate their places.

How many of us are aware of the tact that the mpther of Governor John R. Tanner was placed to rest somewhere in the neighborhood of Carbondale and her grave canniest -be During the War there was nothing itoo good for the boys so let. not forget that they have served their purpose and their individual burial locations should be held sacred. Cemeteries and burial grounds should be fenced either through legislation oil' through county taxation. Cities and viHa.gesi should create cemetery commissions rather than retain the old and ancient idea under they now-are lo.pcrating.

Those who have the p-ower should 'by all means appoint a commission consisting- ol live persons. On this commission there should bo thuee ladies two men and the ol! the health acting secretary. Functioning under their own by-laws their choice of sexton a wonderful improvement could made. It is peculiar that under our present plan a sexton is only employed at one particular place when the power of our administrations lies within a radius everal miles and gome and attention should 'be given the burial fire seldom used as well as those which have abandoned in their entirety. Again under louir present there is no intelligent management, questionable accuracy in plotting and doubtful honesty, in fixing the price for the sale of lots.

Just before entering upon new strip of state road leading out of Carbo.n.dale, here is located thq "Woodlawn" cemetery. In this sacred ground lie the remains of Major J. W. Lawrence. Colonel D.

H. Bnu-sh, Capt. Horace Bowyer and -a long list of heroic dead. It is said Jliat Lieutenant Governor Jenkins is also buried here. With due appreciation of the attention given to the "Oakland" cemetery, why 'though should this cemetery lie entirely neglected and found in its present In Somerset townslr.p, located on the George Doty farm are the graves of two Revolutionary soldiers as listed farther on.

With several others, there is als-p the grave laf William Doty, who died at the age of SO years in 1S67. While ithe inscriptions on cha monuments at the head of the several graves are legible the hogs have uprooting the sipil and this the most historic burial spot in the county should have attention ana be placed in order. On the Fred Doerr farm, directly south of Vergennes on a well selected and beautiful spat between two magnificent cedar trees, is a family'burial ground. It is well fenced anil who ever is responsible for "the upkeep this little spot deserves commendation. 'Recently attending a meeting of the J.

W. Lawrence Post the Grand Army of the Republic at Car.biondale with Commander Colonel lugersoll in charge there were but some seven or eight to answer roll call. Their ages ranged from 7S (jo 93. Likewise in with 1 Freeman. King; of: Oraville "in- command- at the, S2 few here answered to the call of Fifty-seven years a small group of young veterans the Civil War', were binded together'by Dr Benjamin Stevenson of' D'ecatur, 111.

After organizing the name, bestowed on the body was the "Grand Army- of the'Republic." Organization! Ibegam April Gtli, ISOS, and the first national encampment was) held in Indianapolis beginning Nov. 20th of the same year'. There are no authentic records to give the attendance ait that meeting, out -of which, grew one of the most pow erful and influential bodies ever welded together in the United States. Membership campaigns by the Grand Army of the Republic continued' from year to year, but' a.iv'-.o.fficial record of the membership is available only, as fair back as 1S7S, when it was given as 31,016. It was about this time that men who had fought and'woir a great war.

began to make their influence felt in matters pertaining tp the advancement of the 'country and as a result the A. R-. increased in member ship by many crest of the strength oE the organization was reached in 1SS8 and 1890 when were reported in good standing. The peak was reached at ithat time as figures given at the encampment the year showed a loss 'of approximately 2,000. Death has caused a great furrow in the ranks of the -old sjoldiers; yearly since tlimt time until at present there are fewer than 65,000 the "hoys ill blue" left, Illinois young men who volunteered for the defense of the flag in the Civil War from 18611 to 1865.

They saved the nation from being divided.What our state desires, to do, is to have members of churches, societies I lodges, individuals or anyone to furnish names ati'd location iof burial places of soldiers as fan- as possible afl wars, from the (Revolutionary war down to and incliKHng- the World War. Isiii't it possible, ito get an accurate list all sloldiers who have died in the service of the-United States, that the state may perpetuate their memory, and the na'tion, which was established -by Washington live fior all time. Our government furnishes without cost, and pays for the erection of headstones, which are 38 inches long, 12 inches wide and 4 inches! thick. Ill the front near the top. of the stone.

They have chiseled the name -of the and his military rank. The stones are white maiible. The govennonent 'has- issued- somewhere in the neighborhood of 400,000 headstones and they are placed in S3 National cemeteries besides the private cemeteries in every state in "the -Union, since the close of the Civil War. The following inccmplete list is submitted so that individuals or anyone may report corrections in names and location as well as make Volunteers for locating graves are badly needed. Where no rank is given or.

a forename omitted, this will indicate that this information is desired. In conclusion let us not'forget those who have smoothed the path 'bef-oire us. Sincerely, G. A'. RATHGEBER.
