PLEASE NOTE: THIS MEMORIAL IS FOR A STONE THAT WAS APPARENTLY CAST ASIDE WHEN SIMILAR INFORMATION FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS ADDED SOME YEARS LATER TO THE MARKER OF A DECEASED RELATIVE. This marker is NOT located at Bethania Cemetery but instead was located for some years on a small triangular parcel of land in Justice Illinois bounded by Archer Avenue, Oak Grove Avenue and 79th Street, across the street from Bethania Cemetery. The parcel is across Oak Grove Avenue from the Bethania Cemetery. The stone was apparently removed about Spring 2016 and might now be in the custody of a local historical society (more information pending). The story surrounding this stone has been carefully researched by Ray Johnson and posted at
