Watseka: off topic

Please excuse the off topic post, but we obviously have a lot of people here from Illinois who are interested in history and hauntings. About eighty-five miles south of Chicago is a small town in Iroquois county called Watseka. I am writing a book about a famous case of spirit possession that occurred there in 1877-78 involving Lurancy Vennum and Mary Roff. I have been consulting with John Whitman roffhome.com, who is the current owner of the Roff house.

The Fate Of Bachelor Grove Cemetery

I have recently received word that ownership of Bachelor Grove was transferred from Cook County to the Forest Preserve District. It is evident that Cook County could not maintain the grounds and was low priority. What this means for the fate of Bachelor Grove is anybody's guess. I will however, continue my efforts to purchase the cemetery. If anyone has any further information to add, please feel free to post a comment or email us.
