Ron, Are you sure about the location of this marker? I was hoping to go see it, but I don't see anything at that location on satellite view.
Was the house look occupied when you were there in 2008?
Thanks!

William Manly/Manley homesteaded this 1/4 section and he and his 2nd wife are buried here. She died in 1822 and he in 1842. His second wife, Rachel Wallis Manley, married Robert S Norris after Mr. Manley passed. Mr. Norris and his first wife, Martha Nickels, are also buried here - not sure about Rachel Norris. Martha Nickels, Norris' 1st wife, was a sister of William Manley's 2nd wife Elizabeth Nickels. Not sure how this was EVER changed to the 'Miller' name .... They had nothing to do with this original 1800 Cemetery and I would appreciate it if this was corrected to Manly Cemetery. There are several Manly's buried in the Carmack Cemetery.
never heard the river called the grand kankakee river, but I have heard of the grand Kankakee Marsh

The Carmack Cemetery is located on the Carmack farm. Graves are mostly Carmack, but stones also mark the resting places of A. H. Patterson (1820-1878), the Sears family, one Manley, one Norris, several Bogarts, and Peyton Merriman, whose wife was Julia Sears.
There are only a dozen or so graves in this cemetery, including Elizabeth Burson (1810 - 1904), Harriet Burson Forman, and several with the name Eaton.
The Walnut Hill Cemetery is not very large. Prior to the construction of the Wabash Ordinance Plant (later the Newport Army Ammunition Depot/Newport Chemical Depot), is was nearly farmed out or existence.
Also known as the Little Cemetery after the pioneer family of Charles Little that settled here, it was later owned by John Fortune, then Owen Downs. A large stone at the center bears the name Rachel Little (1800 - 1881). Other stones still visible are James Moore (1774 - 1848), Thomas Harris (1802 - 1844), William Elder (1817 - 1845) and his wife Mary (died 1843).
There are likely other Little family graves that are now unmarked.
The Juliet Cemetery is a one-family or one person grave about which very little is known. The stone reads "Juliet, wife of Jacob DeHaven, died May 29,1840." It is located on land entered by Jacob DeHaven and was in the DeHaven family for many years. The last owner was John S. Brown, a U. B. minister.
Many stories have been told about this grave, and the name Parker is associated with it. As the story goes, a family was passing through the area by covered wagon, and several of the children in this family were stricken by an epidemic of unknown etiology. A search of of marriage records, however, do not reveal a marriage between a Dehaven and a Parker.
I'm trying to find out if this chapel is available for weddings. I can't seem to find a way to contact them. Do you have any information on a way to make contact? Thank you.
