Karen Hansen and Barbara Butcher have been making quite a bit of progress on the Lincoln Township Cemetery book we are anticipating publishing some time in the future.
We are trying to include an obituary or some information about each of the individuals buried in the Lincoln Township Cemetery.
This has proven to be quite an undertaking going through microfilms of the Walnut Bureau newspapers and also newspapers from some of the neighboring towns, census records, death records, county histories, etc.
If anyone reading this has any information on any of the following individuals, we would appreciate hearing from you.
