The Hancock County Historical Society’s next Quarterly Meeting will be held Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at the Carthage Community Center, 301 E. Main Street, Carthage, Illinois.
The program will be about “Cemetery Research in Hancock County”. Heather Greenslaugh and Tim Phelps will share stories about the cemeteries they have researched and visited; the names and remembrances of those buried and a power point pictorial will provide the audience with a view of those named. Which presidents have relatives buried in Hancock County? Who is Praying Hyde? What do the unmarked burials hold? What are some of the forgotten cemeteries? Heather and Tim will share the answers to these and many other questions as they continue their life-long passion of cemetery research.
Come join us for a very interesting program, there is no charge to attend, and there will be refreshments after the program.
