Pioneer Cemetery
While probing for a missing corner of a gravestone, a Boy Scout performing restoration work at the Pioneer Cemetery, located on the site of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia Township, Kane County, IL (the cemetery is a few hundred feet into Winfield Township,
Dupage County, IL), discovered a previously unknown gravestone. Most of the text had spalled off of the stone, but enough fragments were recovered to determine the individual's name was Joel Howe who died in Oct (year missing) aged 69 years.
The stone that had the missing corner belongs to Noah Sabin Howe who died 21 Aug 1839 aged 24 years and was the son of Joel and Sally Howe.
I found Sally Howe age 68, born in MA, in the 1850 census for Winfield, Dupage, IL. She is living with a J B Howe, age 25 and a Louisa Howe, age 30, both born in NY. In later census records I have been able to determine that J B Howe was John B Howe and that he had another sister, Betsey (Howe) Newton, b. Abt. 1802 in MA. John doesn't appear to have ever married and I don't find him after the 1880 census. The 1880 census indicates his father (presumably Joel Howe) was born in VT.
I am seeking ANY information on these individuals, their ancestry, and their descendants.
The graves with readable stones at Pioneer Cemetery were mostly from about 1850 (Noah's grave is the oldest readable stone) and the individuals were from New England, including General Thompson Mead (War of 1812). I am an employee at Fermilab and a volunteer with the History Committee there, and am not related to this family.
