Jefferson County Illinois 
Cemeteries

Many volunteers have worked very hard to provide the researchers 
of Jefferson County a listing of Cemeteries and to provide pictures
of headstones to help you in your personal research.

So please do not take the cemetery listings and pictures 
that others have worked so hard to provide and add it 
to any other website as your own. 

Thank You 
for understanding and respecting 
the work of others.

This Cemetery has a wall built around it made of concrete about 3 feet tall. Believed to have about 15 or 16 graves not many stones remain and it is in very bad condition with a tree that has fell right in the middle of the cemetery.
The cemetery land I'm told was given by the Byard family unsure if it was Martin who is laid to rest here.
