Thanks to all who answered me.

No one knew where to find the Ritchey Cemetery, and I had all ready
contacted the Schuyler County Jail Museum and Historical Society and the
websites including one not mentioned ILTrails Schuyler County
<http://iltrails.org/schuyler/>;.

The obit (Ritchey cemetery) is one for William Thomas Crum, d. February
25, 1917 married to Gertrude Mabel Ashwood, d. March 18, 1951. She is
buried in the Rushville City Cemetery. His funeral took place at the
Free Methodist Church in Ray, Oakland Township, Schuyler County,
Illinois. They had twin infant sons (d. 1909) buried in Pittenger
(Ashcraft) Cemetery, Oakland Township, Schuyler County, Illinois. A lot
of Gertrude's family are buried in Pittenger (Ashcraft) Cemetery,
Oakland Township, Schuyler County, Illinois.

I don't have any more info on his family except the parents names from
the obit: Joseph Lafayette Crum and Sarah Ann Gosch.

Thanks again,

Sara
