ATTERBERRY CEMETERY
Menard County, Illinois
Duane Albert chalking before picture taking
Directions: Follow Rte. 97 through Petersburg to Atterberry. Turn left at the first road into Atterberry. Go straight to Clary Creek Road, which will be the first cross road. Turn right on to Clary Creek Road and go 0.3 miles. You will see a large green barn. This cemetery is located directly behind the barn. Whether you can see the cemetery from the road will depend on whether there is corn or beans growing in the field. It is bordered on two sides by trees. Just before the barn, there is a grassy field road which leads back to this cemetery. The cemetery is well maintained and very pretty with a good fence and gate. The cemetery is located approximately a quarter of a mile behind the barn. A huge thank you to Duane & Betty Albert who were instrumental in finding this and other cemeteries and for their assistance in taking pictures. We have 3 angels in Menard County!
