Only a few fallen tombstones remain at the site of this
abandoned
rural cemetery midway between Concord and Arcadia. It is located in the
extreme northwest corner of Section 23 in Township 16 N Range 11 W. On
page 121 of "Atlas Map of Morgan County, Illinois, 1872" the
burial site is marked by a cemetery symbol. When "Plat Book of Morgan
County, Illinois, 1894" was published the cemetery's site was not
indicated. Angel Cemetery is slightly less than a mile northwest of
abandoned
Smith Cemetery, also located in Section 23. The tombstone readings
listed
here were made March 1, 1977 by Byron E. Gish of Rural Route One,
Beardstown.
