ROCKFORD, Ill. - illiNews -- August 15th is 815 or Rockford Day, and Poplar Grove based publisher Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing has released a new book on two Rockford cemeteries to honor that date. "Rockford's Final Resting Places: Volume Four: Marsh and Scandinavian Cemeteries" is that book.

It was also done by Gary Hill, but included contributions from Ernie Fuhr.
