Farmers State Bank and Trust Company of Jacksonville
administers
a trust fund for maintenance of this unusual cemetery. The cemetery is
atop a bluff that gives a magnificent view of the Illinois River Valley
and parts of the counties of Morgan, Scott, Pike and Brown. A thick,
decorative
concrete wall about three feet high protects the remaining gravesites
from
wandering cattle and encroaching farm machinery. A large central
granite
tombstone has all the Augustine names on it, and individual matched
granite
stones with initials mark the individual graves. Outside the wall,
remnants
of other tombstones can be found, but are too weathered and broken to
be
read. Augustine Cemetery is a few yards more than one-half mile north
of
the Morgan-Scott county line and can be seen from Illinois Route 100.
The
cemetery is east of the highway and north of Spring Run, a waterway.
Legal
description of the site is in Section 36 of Township 16 N and Range 13
W. This is about three miles southeast of Meredosia and one mile
southwest
of Beagle Cemetery.
