Cemetery information by members of the Jacksonville
Area
Genealogical and Historical Society
A parcel of land behind the Gov. Duncan mansion on West State
Street
was deeded as a cemetery. The land now is incorporated in the deed for
the property at 1009 West Lafayette Avenue. It is not certain if any
burials
were ever made in this cemetery. Gov. Duncan was for a time buried in
front
of the mansion, near West State Street. His body now is considered to
be
buried in Diamond Grove Cemetery, contrary to often denied rumors that
medical students at Illinois College stole his body for study. City
records
show that the family was moved to Diamond Grove in May of 1873.
