the most common. Allison Cemetery is located on what is known as Allison's Mound,
west of Jacksonville, formerly Olmstead's Mound. A Mr. Olmstead erected a log cabin on
the mound in 1820, and this is where the first election of Morgan County officers was
held, and the first Circuit Court convened in April of 1823. This listing of tombstones

with a newer family listing by Mrs. Eldridge Roberts, formerly Mary
