Do you know of Fairweather ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Fairweather. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Fairweather.<1>

Our sources for Fairweather (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Fairweather other than they indicate that Fairweather would be found somewhere in Adams County, Illinois.
