Exploring Hillcrest Cemetery

Located in Bolingbrook, Illinois, about 30 miles outside of Chicago, is a cemetery that dates back nearly 200 years when a plot of land was set aside by Thomas Sprague, a pioneer in the area. Now, there is nearly 800 grave sites in this still active cemetery. So come join me as we explore Hillcrest Cemetery.

It's a shame in a neighborhood like Bolingbrook the cemetery has a lot of wooden crosses

On my Facebook page, Morris History club, I posted an article from today, Dec 18th, 1965.. about a cemetery in Morris on route 6. I wonder if it's one you've been to in your videos

John Doe Amazingly with advances in familial DNA there is no longer such a thing as John Doe, all you need is to generate interest. If a search for an exact match to a DNA sample proves fruitless, a familial DNA search may bring back a partial match. A partial match may point to a sibling, parent, or other blood relative through DNA identification. Forensic DNA from a crime scene sample might not match any DNA in state or federal databases. Thank you for the stories and the tour.
