Cemetery Name: Homer G. A. R. Cemetery Also Known As: Homer Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery, American Legion Cemetery, GAR Cemetery Location: South Homer Township, East side of Homer GPS Location: 40.03795, -87.94936 (link to Google Map) Description: Homer G. A. R. Cemetery started around 1866, still an active cemetery and very well maintained. Pictures: I took pictures of EVERY stone in this cemetery in September 2010, and also have 2 video's embedded below taken at that same time. Link to Pictures: 4,649 pictures (50 on a page, 93 pages) Internment List: On site, they have a board with a list of all the burials. As of 2012, the version of the list was STILL from 2005. It is also behind plexi-glass, which makes some parts of the list hard to read (in person & in the images below). I kept these pictures a little bigger to help with reading as much as I could. I believe the Homer American Legion has closed down, so I'm not sure who to contact about the cemetery - BUT if anyone knows how to get ahold of a current list that I could share on this site with everyone - PLEASE let me know. Also the last picture linked below is a section-map that I created. Link to Internment List & MAP: 154 pictures (50 on a page, 493 pages) Video: Below are a couple of quick overview video's of Homer G.A.R. Cemetery. These were taken September 2010. Please note: These video's are NOT "professional" or to be used to read stones or anything like that.... these are simple to show a quick "overview" of the cemetery. For those who may never be able to visit this cemetery in person, these video's are here to show a quick "overview" of the area.

I am seeking information re the Clark Family of Isabel, Edgar Cty, Illinois. I am the great, great grandson of Snowden Clark and Lydia Chandler Clark, whose daughter married John Walter "JW" Borton of Borton, Edgar County, Illinois; whose first wife was Emma Clark, sister to Snowden and Seberry Clark. All three buried in Embarrass Cemetery, Edgar County, Illinois. Would also like additional information on Mina Clark Clapp, also of the Isabel/Borton area.
Thank you very much for providing this opportunity to share this information.
Respectfully,
