(70 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 21, par. 64.24i)
Sec. 9.
The board of trustees may receive, in trust, from the proprietors
or owners of any lot in any cemetery which it maintains or from any person
interested in the maintenance of such a cemetery, any gift or
legacy of money or property of a value of $50 or more which
may be donated
to such board for the maintenance of such lot or cemetery. The board has
the right to convert any property so received into money. The board may use
all such money, or the income thereof, as may be specified by the terms of
the donor in making the gift or legacy.
Every gift or legacy made for any of the purposes
mentioned in
this Section to a cemetery by its name and which the board is maintaining
under this Act shall vest in the board of trustees created under this Act
and take effect to all intents and purposes as if made to such board and
shall not fail merely because such cemetery is not being maintained or
managed by the person or body named in the gift or legacy.
