At Haven Hill Cemetery, Lot 73, Olney, Richland County, IL, Elizabeth J. (Fiske) Heap and George W Heap are buried. They share a stone, mounted by their children, with son George, daughter Margaret and granddaughter Youngling. Elizabeth's information is on the East, George's information is on the North, George Jr and Margaret are on the South and the Youngling grandchild is on the West. There is also a small stone (approximately 10" x 5") with simply "E J H" ("H" is partially worn away) imediately to the South of the common stone, presumably for Elizabeth J (Fiske) Heap. No similar stone is found at the plot for George, although there is room for it (about 5 feet) between the common stone and "E J H". Possibly the common stone replaced George Sr.'s original small stone. Immediately to the North of the common stone, there are three small stones, almost completely illegible. I believe they are for Margaret, George Jr. and another child/grandchild.
