I came across a site that showed the graves of all Medal of Honor recipients who are buried in the state of Illinois.
These are Civil War veterans who are buried in towns along Route 66 in the state, not including Chicago. I'm working on it, but either the computer or site has just about stopped.
ELBURN
Theodore Hyatt at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.
DWIGHT
Henry Fox at Oaklawn Cemetery.
CHENOA
Edward Pike at the Chenoa Cemetery.
COLLINSVILLE
Ninevah McKeon at Glenwood Cemetery.
I'm hoping the Route 66 Association of Illinois spotlights these graves during their Motor Tours at least once in the next four years, the 150th anniversary of the war.
