From the Archives of Stephen Frakes
and Jim Hester & Mary Cessna
Surnames T thru Z
Thanks to Stephen Frakes for sharing his collection of obituaries from his work with area cemeteries thru the years.
A lot of these have been typed up by Stephen, and he has also shared many photos from the obituaries as well.
Also thanks to Jim Hester & Mary Cessna, who shared their collection of obituaries they cut from newspapers and saved in photo albums.
These have been scanned so that they can be shared on this website as well.
We have combined the two collections on these pages, and divided them into 5 sections, so that they can be more easily located.

William D. "Uncle Bill" Thrasher

William D. THRASHER, most recently of San Diego, California; also from Chicago, and a descendant of pioneer families in the Kinmundy vicinity, dies on March 21, 2018 in La Costa (San Diego), California. His late parents were Lloyd L. and Mary Morgan THRASHER. Bill was proud to be descended from the DOOLEN, MORGAN, FOSTER, CUMMINS and THRASHER families of the Kinmundy, Salem and Effingham areas. He was a great-great-grandson of Hardy FOSTER, the first pioneer settler of Foster Township, who served in the Illinois State Legislature with Abraham Lincoln in Vandalia.
Bill (“Uncle Bill” or “U.B.” to his extended family), was born on December 16, 1928 in Evanston. A retired librarian, he had degrees from the University of Illinois, Urbana, and Rosary College, River Forest. Bill served in the Army during the Korean War as an information specialist. Before becoming a librarian, he was employed by United Airlines in various capacities in Seattle, Denver, and Chicago. He retired from the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Chicago Public Library in Administration.
Uncle Bill was a world traveler in his retirement. He was an avid movie buff, and was a fan of classic movies and music. He had a keen sense of family history, and spent hours reviewing his pioneer roots. U.B. also never forgot a birthday. First his nieces and nephews, and then his great-nieces and great-nephews, looked forward each year to a carefully chosen birthday card, addressed formally to each person, and in the children’s case, with a crisp $10 bill enclosed. Towards the end of his life, he moved to San Diego to be closer to his sister, Martha, and her children and grandchildren. His Southern California family are grateful that they all were able to spend more time with U.B. over the last years of his life.
Survivors include Martha STROBEN and many nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends. He was pre-deceased by his parents and his brother, Lloyd L. THRASHER.

According to his family, he enjoyed life to the fullest, traveling and being with family and friends. They say he especially enjoyed showing his grandchildren, nieces and nephews the fun that could be had with a tractor in the snow and how to grow vegetables in the garden. His trips to the Curve restaurant in Kinmundy for a bite to eat or just a cup of coffee while discussing the latest events in the community was a weekly joy, his family says. His family considered him to be a wonderful father and grandfather, devoted husband, loving son and brother, and a true Christian, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
