Volume II, Westfall Cemetery History, takes the cemetery list in Volume I and goes much further. It includes 383 obituaries out of the 660 individuals buried there. Where no obituary could be found, census records, service records, birth, death and marriage certificate information, county history abstracts and research notes have been added to enhance and create a complete record. The obituaries are recreated just as they were originally and all discrepancies between headstone, obituary and cemetery records have been noted. The work contains 2,677 names of those interred and their surviving relatives. It is a historical record of how these people lived and died throughout the 164 year history of the cemetery and an essential reference book for Knox County research. Volume II of the Westfall Cemetery is much more than an obituary list. It is a complete genealogical reference book for anyone interested in Knox County, Illinois, the Westfall family or any of its 145 allied lines.
This is the result of a project to read and record every legible grave marker in Knox County, which was begun in 1957 by members on the Knox County Historical Society and continued, since 1978, by the Knox County Genealogical Society. The first volume contains readings from 173 cemeteries in 22 townships, while the second volume contains readings from the remaining two cemeteries, two large cemeteries adjacent to each other in Mount Vernon, Ohio: Mound View Cemetery and Mount Calvary Cemetery.
Images of America: The Land Before Fort Knox illuminates the past while images bring to light people and places of yesterday. Located south of the Ohio River and Louisville, Kentucky, the Fort Knox military installation is the location for the training of U.S. Army Armor and Cavalry forces. Known as the home of Mounted Warfare, Fort Knox is also the location of the U.S. Treasury Department Gold Vault that opened in February 1937. Fort Knox covers 178 square miles and spans parts of Hardin, Meade, and Bullitt Counties. The area was once home to Thomas Lincoln, father of the nation's martyred 16th president, as well as the burial place of Abraham Lincoln's grandmother, Bathsheba Lincoln. Images of America: The Land Before Fort Knox illuminates the past while images bring to light people and places of yesterday.
They can be as elaborate as ornate statuary from the Victorian era or as simple as plain stones placed over fallen soldiers. They might be tucked away in quiet corners of the county or rest in the shadows of the city's tallest buildings. They are the grave markers of Knoxville's dead, and they hold an unturned key to this East Tennessee community's past. In this new book, Jack Neely and Aaron Jay take the reader on a tour through Knoxville's graveyards--a photographic and historic sampling of more than forty cemeteries in Knox County. In words and pictures, Neely and Jay record the handiwork of the stonecutter, the provocative environments of gravesites, and the colorful lives of the people buried there. Wandering from small family graveyards to large institutional cemeteries, Neely writes with a graceful style and a respect for the past while Jay's photographs capture the mood of the stones, sculptures, and design of grave markers. They lead us to the last resting places of a Supreme Court justice, a Grand Prix racing champion, a presidential nominee, and a great blues singer, showing how the lives of these prominent figures often attain added significance by their tombstones, which reveal the diverse burial customs of Knoxville's citizens. The Marble City invites us to view cemeteries as a means of appreciating an American city's cultural diversity and the many roles its citizens played in history: the earliest marked burials in the county date from George Washington's day, and in these quiet acres Confederates lie within whispering distance of Union dead. As the book shows us, each statue and marker has a story to tell. Slaves and slaveholders, professors and paupers, veterans of every war America has fought--Neely and Jay read the history of America in Knoxville graveyards and show that monuments to the dead can still inspire the living.
