Here is a Fantastic ~~~ success story sent to me from Robin, who is on the Board of McConnell Historical Society. Robin helped with this project along with lots of others. Thanks so much Robin and many thanks to all who helped you in this project.
Hello Foxie and all,
I wanted to share with you all this special project of
mine this past summer. President Terry Price and I of the McConnell Area
Historical Society put this tombstone back into a cemetery in which we are
about 99% sure it belongs. So now it is with along the rest of the Hawley
family members. This tombstone was found in a pasture in McConnell Illinois and
now it is located in Silent Hill Cemetery in McConnell IL. Terry Price did the
work of fixing the old stone and Robin Pardus did the researching for where the
stone should go. Along with a gentleman named John, Robin's young son Jerry
Pardus and Terry Price , Robin finally had the stone put up into the cemetery.
Then one final photo was taken with Terry and Robin. If anyone knows anything
or ever hears of the Hawley family we are trying to also find out more info.
Robin and Terry now also have a genealogy corner in the museum and are
accepting all family histories and also any cemetery transcriptions. In hopes
we can help others and also for future generations.
Thanks
Robin Pardus
McConnell Area Historical Society
