From Dorrine Koch:
In 1983, my husband John and I found my ggggrandparents Robert
SCOTT,
wife Martha PROFFITT, and many other relatives lost in briars,
brambles,
poison ivy, trees, blackberry vines, and weeds. We started cleaning up
and uncovering stones in the ground and erecting them. We found a
Russell
WOLFE and his brother who helped cut trees, brush, and dig up stumps.
Russell
was an organizer and got neighbors to help pile brush and burn it. A
neighbor
made the cross (see picture below) and Milly WOLFE treated it over and
over with creosote. We fenced in the cemetery and put up a gate. We
created
a CORR Cemetery Association Care Fund at the Carlinville National Bank
(Please contribute to this fund.) I have
a list of all the stones we set up and all the names there are in CORR
cem. I have names SCOTTS, HUGHES, YORKS, MITCHELLS and others. We
worked
on the cemetery about 5 or 6 or more of our vacation times. We camped
at
Beaver Lake campground. We are very proud of our efforts. Some of us
contribute
yearly for mowing because our fund is not big enough yet to get it all
mowed . Thanks for the fun times we had with all those who helped.,
Because
we lived so far away. It is a beautiful place of rest. John &
Dorrine
KOCH
Dorrine will do lookups from her list of burials at Corr Cemetery.
