Illinois, Archdiocese of Chicago, Cemetery Records, 1864-1989
FamilySearch has added the database Illinois, Archdiocese of Chicago, Cemetery Records, 1864-1989 to their collection. It contains records from cemeteries that are under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Chicago. The majority of records are burial index cards, but the collection also includes some burial registers, burial logs, and lot owner registers. The cemeteries are located in Cook and Lake Counties, Illinois.
When I searched this collection, I found burial index cards for my 3nd-great-grandmother Sadie (Dyer) Gatlin and some of her children. For me, the biggest find was the burial card for Sadie's daughter Anna Elizabeth (Gatlin) Doying. Until I found her burial index card, I did not know where she was buried. Her burial date (2 September 1964) also helps me to estimate a death date for her. I know that she died in August 1964; she probably died at the end of August.

Society Saturday: Children of America Loyalty League
The Children of America Loyalty League was organized in St. Louis, Missouri on 29 June 1917. Its purpose was to teach children to love their country and to provide aid to soldiers and sailors, the Red Cross, and other children. It was founded by Mrs. Nat Brown.
Dues were 20 cents per year for children. For adults, honorary membership cost $1 per year, and active membership cost $5 per year. The organization's national song was "The Rainbow of the Free" by John L. Herman (music) and Will DeFord (lyrics).
In 1917, the organization donated socks to soldiers in France, and donated glasses of jelly to war hospitals in France.
The Children of America Loyalty League's events included performances, parties, and fashion shows. On 14 September 1917, the league held a celebration at the St. Louis Coliseum in honor of the 103rd anniversary of the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The league held a masque and pageant, "The Song of Truth and the Court of Youth," on October 3, 4, and 5, 1918 at the Odeon Theatre in St. Louis.
The league gave lawn parties which featured entertainment. On 9 July 1920, a lawn party was held at the home of my great-grandmother Kathleen (Graham) Boe. The entertainers included my grandfather John Boe and his siblings Florence, James, Theodora Catherine, and Geraldine.
On 30 April 1921, the league held a children's fashion exhibition.
On 29 July 1921, another lawn party was held at Kathleen (Graham) Boe's home. The entertainment included a fortune-teller, a snake charmer, a museum, and a fish pond.
On 10 December 1921, the league held a Christmas party.
In 1921, when the Old Glory chapter of the Children of America Loyalty League was reorganized, Kathleen (Graham) Boe became secretary-treasurer.

Agathe Weiler
My 4th-great-grandmother Agathe Weiler (or Wieler) died 158 years ago today. All that I know about her comes from Familienbuch der katholischen Pfarrei Sankt-Severin, Erpel 1615-1875 by Renate Hentschel (Köln: Westdeutsche Gesellschaft für Familienkunde, 2010.)
I know that Agathe was born about 1789, but I do not know where. I know that she married my 4th-great-grandfather Gottfried Lindlohr before 1817, but I do not know where they married. Gottfried was from Erpel, Neuwied, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Agathe may have been from somewhere else, possibly a nearby town.
Gottfried and Agathe had the following children, all baptized in Erpel:
Karl Josef, born 15 November 1817
Matthias Josef, born 29 February 1820 and died 7 March 1820
Adelheid, born 15 February 1821
Anna Sibylle, born 20 December 1823
Anna Maria, born 22 August 1826
Anna Margarete, born 10 April 1829
Johann Josef, born 23 December 1831
Agathe died on 10 November 1858. The cause of death was Schlagfluß (stroke). She was buried on 13 November 1858 in Erpel.
