    • I have lived in BT since I was 5yrs old. I recently moved near an old abandoned graveyard from the 1800's and wanted some info on it. The Old Hill Cemetery. Located on 216 Aldergate Drive off HWY K. Near the BT elementry. If anyone can tell me about the Hill Family I would appreciate it very much, Thank You!

    • album of susanlesliehelber

    • These pictures are absolutely wonderful. My name is Susan Helber and I was born in Bonne Terre and lived there 'til age six. My dad and his four brothers lived there during these years pictured. I think I see John Clark Helber watching the funeral. These are great pictures and help us realize what life was really like.

    • Hello bwarner, I have truly enjoyed viewing your collection of photos and postcards of vintage Bonne Terre, Missouri. Of more than passing interest are your photos of the First Congregational Church, since I am a member of this congregation as well as Church organist/pianist. Would it be possible for me to include some of the pictures contained in your Bonne Terre collection on our Church website? You may contact me at moroboy@charter.net thank you, Thomas Spears

    • album of garoxus2

    • Hi I am direct desendent of Dr. Lee Turley. Who grew up in Bonne Terre Mo. and was well known to hundreds of families in and around Bonne Terre.He had his practice there in Bonne Terre for over 45 years. He was the Mayor from April 8th 1918 to 1920 April 6th. My father still resides in the area and the now funeral Home which used to be his residence (Dr.Turley)has an old plaque outside his old office there on Main street. Just wondered if anyone had any old pictures from that era that i might download? I love the photos that are already available.Thanks
