Long used as a pasture, this cemetery is situated on
the
southwest edge of Waverly. Three graves, those of Malinda J., Gabriel
and
Lucinda Dennis, are inside a fence at the east edge of the cemetery. A
listing of tombstones in this cemetery was made on September 17, 1972
and
appeared in "A Guide to Cemeteries of Morgan County, Illinois, Volume
One". But during the autumn of 1977 a restoration of Bethel Cemetery
was undertaken and several additional tombstones were unearthed. On
October
12, 1977, a second reading of the cemetery's tombstones resulted in the
addition of several readings and corrections of others. It is very
obvious
that there are many other burials in this cemetery and it is likely
that
more tombstones will be recovered as the restoration progresses.
On November 13, 1977 members and friends of the First United Methodist
Church of Waverly dedicated a flag pole and shrubbery at the cemetery
entrance.
Care should be taken to avoid confusing this Bethel Cemetery with the
much
larger Bethel Cemetery that is south of Murrayville.
