RED MARKINGS.
This burial referenced in the Historical Atlas of Ford County Illinois:
"The first death was Mrs. Henry Dennis, who was buried on the A. M. Peck farm, Section 4."
So Mrs. Henry Dennis is the burial under the pine trees on 115 north of the Flessner home site? Correct? "The first death in Lyman Township."
BLUE MARKINGS.
I still believe there is another cemetery. Located on section 2 on what was the J. T. Forbes farm.
--Roberts Herald. 31 October 1923.
"The first cemetery in Lyman Township was on the Forbes farm. Now the Charles Dietterle farm. Quite a number of early settlers were buried there."
