Shan made a contact with the village of Pecatonica to get directions to the Thompson Cemetery. The reply was very specific. "It is located on the West side of Ahrens Road which runs South off of Telegraph Road. There is no road into the cemetery nor alongside. You must park along Ahrens Road. It is nestled in farmland. It is a small cemetery with no name posted."
