    suntimes.com 1 day, 9 hours ago

    Anthony Cutrano found peace at the “Wall.” On Saturday, like he often did, Cutrano visited those granite panels engraved with the names of American soldiers killed in post-9/11 conflicts that stand along the Illinois River in Marseilles. On his way home, Cutrano’s Harley Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle hit a guardrail on Route 6 on a curved incline locals call “Holderman Hill” just east of Seneca.

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
The Illinois River is a principal tributary of the Mississippi River, approximately 273 miles long, in the State of Illinois. The river drains a large section of central Illinois, with a drainage basin of 28,070 square miles. This river was important among Native Americans and early French traders as the principal water route connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi. The French colonial settlements along the river formed the heart of the area known as the Illinois Country. After the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and the Hennepin Canal in the 19th century, the role of the river as link between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi was extended into the era of modern industrial shipping.
