GEFF CEMETERY
I am trying a new format out for cemetery information. The information on this cemetery is not based on just headstone inscriptions but rather by state database records found on line as well as personal obituaries saved by my grandmother Hazel SMITH Lane, obituaries exchanged with other researchers, the Illinois State Historic Library, Legacy of Kin 1&2, as well as Betty Beeson and Doris Bland books. This information is meant to be used as a stepping stone, to help further your research!
Blue row indicates known war veteran!
Color code references to information below
Wayne Co., Illinois Newspaper Gleanings 1855- 1875, by Doris Bland, Wayne Co., Illinois Newspaper Gleanings 1876- 1879, by Doris Bland, Wayne Co., Death Notices and Obituaries 1880-1890, Betty Beeson, Wayne Co., Death Notices and Obituaries1891-1895, Betty Beeson,
Death Certificate numbers were found in the Illinois Statewide Database http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html
Although we have tried to be as accurate as possible in our research, mistakes happen, if you know of any corrections or additions to this family please contact me, thanks Laurie lselpien@msn.com
Special Note: The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library offers a newspaper lookup service that will send you copies of the original obituaries listed below for a small fee ( 2 obits for a $1.00 for Illinois residents $10.00 for out of state) check out their information at the following link http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/ishlgen.htm
