Trying to find Ellen Nell (ne: PRICE) HANNON (b.1783, Ireland). Listed in the Census of Illinois in 1865 as living with one of her children in Peru, age 75. Her husband Brian Hannon died in LaSalle from typhus in 1848. He was likely buried in the old Catholic Cemetery there. The graves were moved to St. Vincent's Cemetery in the 1930's and I understand there was a notice to the public of all these graves that were either to be abandoned or move. No record in St. Vincent's of either of them. Question: I wish to find the public notice of the reburials. When about was this done and what was the name of the likely paper this list would have appeared in? Thanks, Bruce Hannon

I am innterested on finding information on the Nicholas HARE and Mary RICE HARE family. They came to southern DeKalb or northern LaSalle Co.s about 1845 and settled near the old Shabbona State Park. The came from Houghton, MI but may have been originally from Onandaga, N. Y. I also have information on the decedents of Owen TODD, Sr., Frederick CLAPSADDLE, George ULLMAN and others related to the Todd's of Shabbona, Twp, DeKalb, Co, Ill.
