The Reeve portion of this reading was updated by Kellie Robinson during the
summer of 2003. She adds this following information/description about the cemetery: "This cemetery is located
at the top of a hill in a small clearing alongside the road and is well kept, although some of the stones are in danger
of falling over or are broken. A small black and white wooden sign hangs in the midst of a bed of white irises near the hilltop to
mark the cemetery.
One of the men buried here, Joel B. Reeve, was an early emigrant to Illinois, having come from
Wilkes, North Carolina, with his father in 1819 (see Isaac Reeve Memorial Cemetery in Morgan County). Joel was the oldest
of nine children, and father of eight children with his wife, Mary Arnett, daughter of Thomas Arnett, another
early pioneer of the Morgan County area. the Maberry family, comprising over half of the burials in the cemetery, also were very
early pioneers in this part of Illinois."
