Mrs. Clarice Dameron-Lichtenberg - Why is Pinetree Cemetery, formerly Carriger-Martin Cemetery just outside of Patterson, Illinois... not listed with the other Greee County Cemeteries? The land for the original Carriger-Martin cemetery was donated by Elizabeth Carriger Martin and her husband Reuben Martin upon the death of their infants. The cemetery name was later changed to Pinetree Cemetery. Various stories regarding the name change have been told to me and I am not sure which one is correect. Do you know the real reason for the name change? Will appreciate your including the very large and well maintained Pinetree Cemetery where many of my relatives and ancestors are buried, including my parents, Cora Carriger Dameron & Leo Alonzo Dameron. I am a direct descendant of the Carriger's, and the Allens that ara buried in Pinetree and Patterson/Wilimington Cememtery.I would appreciate your response and perhaps updating and inclusion of the Pinetree Cemetery......Sincerely, Mrs. Clarice Dameron-Lichtenberg
