New to the list, so bear with me, OK?

Trying to find info on cemetary in/near Sandoval. Don't know name.

My aunt & uncle, both died very very young, buried there according to death certificates. But just says "buried Sandoval, IL", doesn't name cemetary.
Dorothy May CANFIELD, born 14 Mar 1919, died 27 Feb 1923, buried 28 Feb 1923. Undertaker A. L. Benoist of Sandoval
Joe L CANFIELD, born 25 Aug 1921, died 19 Mar 1923, buried 20 Mar 1923. same undertaker.
Both were children of Joseph Edgar "Joe" CANFIELD & Hattie May PAGE, and died of whooping cough. Joe was a coal miner.

May have been near coal-miners shanty-town, if there was one. My oldest aunt, Cleo [Dorothy & Joe's sister] told me years ago that when the little ones died, they were living in a coal-mine camp in a small shack-like house. I can't imagine they went too far for a burial, especially if, as Aunt Cleo said, there was some sort of epidemic going on.

Any info anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
