Stephen: I have information on the family of Edmund Imes who died July 10, 1948 in Indiana.He was married to Sarah Elizabeth Dils. b Oct 7, 1869 in Indiana.They had 2 children:
1. Ruth L. Imes b. January 1897, d. Jan 1972 in Hammond, IN.Married to William Krahling.Had one child who died young at the age of 1 or 2.
2. Ward Richard Imes (b. Feb 1894 in Indiana; d. Feb 9, 1948 in Calumet City, IL.Married to Florence Cherrier Blanchard (b. June 12, 1897 in Austin, IL; d. April 16, 1968 in East Chicago, IN).They had 3 children:
1)Joan Elaine Imes (b. Nov 10, 1922 in Oak Park, IL; d. Sept 10, 1996 in Anchorage, AK).3 living children.
2)Ward Richard Imes, Jr. (b. Mar 1924; died in May or June 1976 in Tennessee).1 living child.
3)Edmund Imes (b. May 11, 1927, d. Mar 8, 2004 in Highland, Lake Co., IN).5 living children.

The following information is added by my wife who remembers visiting the cemetary often as a child:the graves of Ward R. Imes and Florence Imes are located at the entrance of the cemetary off Route 6 up a very small hill to your left.Continuing up the road of the cemetary there was a large tree on the left of the road and the graves of the remainder of the family are all to the left of the road.

I hope this helps.
