What fun...to find a copy of this. My family has had this for years and ever so often I dust it off and read it. I am a great, great grandaughter of James and Nancy. My grandmother Gernetta is mentioned in this reminiscence as one of the last people to play the organ at the home place. I have visited the Cheshier cemetary many times. I live in Effingham, Il but still have family in Vandalia. My aunt Pauline Deverick , daughter of Clyde Cheshier , grandaughter of John and Sara Cheshier is 87 and still lives on her own in Vandalia
