Hello,
I have been researching my family tree, My greatgrandfather was George W Nichols, birth 02/22/1882 death: March 14, 1934. Lived in Danville, IL
from all the records all his life, he is supposed to be buried in County Home Cemetery in Danville, IL. Any information would be trulyl appreciated.
Thank You, CJ Hoogewind
I do think one of my ancestors may have been buried here - Allen Bonebrake. He was deaf and lived there for the best part of 20 years. It's sad to know that none of the graves are marked. Thanks to the person who erected the memorial for them.
