Death certificates at the Morgan County Court House record
the
following
three as being made on the grounds of Oak Lawn Retreat. Oak Lawn
Retreat,
on East Morton Road, Jacksonville, was opened in 1872 as a private
mental
hospital. In later years it was used as the Morgan County Tuberculosis
Sanitarium. After tuberculosis was brought under control by medical
science,
the building and grounds were sold by county officials. In 1975 the
complex
was known as Chateau DeFleur, an apartment building. A thorough search
of the grounds in 1974 with Steve Coates, an employee of Chateau
DeFleur,
failed to disclose any known burial sites. It is possible the burials
have
been removed to other cemeteries. No mention of the following burials
was
made in the Jacksonville Journal.
* = No Stone Found
