My mother's family (HERSHEY/MILLER) comes out of Wabash county. Many have come out of

"cousins" out there looking to share information.
Does anyone out there know how LANCASTER got it's name - I'm curious if maybe it was

(Webmaster's Note: Yes, "Its name was derived from Lancaster,
the county seat of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, from which locality many emigrated to
this vicinity." from History of Edwards, Lawrence and Wabash Counties, Illinois,
1883)
Also can anyone give me directions to some of the older cemetaries in the Lancaster
area. My mother says that she can remember going to several when she was younger - but she
can't remember where they are located
(Webmaster's Note: There are quite a few smaller ones. The
main ones are the Old Lancster Cemetary (on the west side along the Lancaster-West Salem
road), the New Lancaster Cemetary (on the north side along the Lancaster-Sumner road), and
Jordan Creek or Old Brick Cemetary (which my family takes care of, about 2 miles sw of
Lancaster). There are several other small family cemetaries around the area (one
being about two miles west on a curve of the Lancaster-West Salem road). If you are
