      [snip]
      But where did you get the information Polly Ball Swena was buried in Lynn Creek , KS cemetery? That is a question some of us have been trying to document. Polly is certainly not on the same monument as Benjamin and his daughter and son in law. We visited Lynn Creek some years ago and I have a picture of the memorial. One person I work with maintains she is buried back in Polo, Ogle co., IL but a monument or record has not been found.
      [snip] would it be best if you just state "not found in Lynn Creek Cemetery or Polo, IL? If anyone does have documentation let me know"? A couple of us are working on it.
