Cemetery transcription by members of the Jacksonville
Area
Genealogical and Historical Society
This badly overgrown cemetery is situated about a mile north
of
Lake Jacksonville at an intersection of two country roads. In winter it
is clearly visible from the roadway but an August search for this site
found it so overgrown with brush and weeds as to be passed by if one
didn't
know it was there. Several evergreen trees draw attention to this
cemetery.
It is in the northwest quarter of Section 2 Township 14 N Range 10 W.
This
cemetery is also known as Baptist Church Cemetery.
