The Stalker is in dire need of
articles. None have been received by the editor since late December
2011. The summer issue will be rather slim unless some new material
is received soon. We need input from all members.

Dear Genealogical Society
I am sending you a personal invitation to our Civil War Veterans
Stone dedication. The Worden American Legion, Post # 564, located
in Worden, Illinois, and the Sons of American Legion, #564, have
worked hard to remember our Civil War Veterans. We are a small
village, population of 1000, and have laid to rest in our cemetery,
14 Civil War Veterans. The cemetery markers for these veterans
are long gone or not legible, so we started a project to place
a stone for these veterans. The dedication for the stone will
take place on June 23, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. in the village cemetery.
We also proud to have the Sons of the Veterans of the Civil War,
along with their Infantry and Artillery to help make this dedication
a very honorable service to our veterans and their families.
We are planning this day for everyone to gather together to honor
our Civil War Veterans, families, and friends. Everyone is welcome
to gather after the service at the Legion Hall and visit with
all who have shared in this honorable day. We hope you can come
to the service and gathering to make this a historical day in
the history of Worden .
