My relative, Charles F. Frank, lived in the railroad mens home between 1935 and 1940 when he died (reportedly) in Highland Park. He is buried in the Mooney Cemetery. He had been born in Crawford County, Ohio, on 24 Feb. 1880 and lived much of his life in Marion County, Ohio. He was a lifelong railroad employee and worked for the Erie Railroad much of his life. He was a member of the 35th B.R.T.
First, who maintains the records for the Mooney Cemetery in Lake county? I know from the queries who apparently physically maintains the cemetery, but who maintains the records for the Mooney Cemetery in Lake county?
Second, did an obituary appear in the local Highland Park newspaper for the death of a Charles Frederick Frank, who died 10 February 1940? He was buried in the Mooney Cemetery on the 12th.
Finally, do any records exist for the Railroad Man's Home there in Highland Park for the time around 1940?

The cemetery is owned and maintain by the Moraine Township in Lake County which is part of Highland Park, IL. The link above is to Charles Frank's memorial that shows his headstone.

Charles died on Feb 10, 19640 so that will help find the obit. Highland Park's newspapers are not online so I can try to swing by there this week to check to see if there is a notice or obit for him, unless someone else can do that before I do by Friday.

Hope this helps.
