SEYMOUR CEMETERY
NE 1/4 SW 1/4, Section 11, Twp. 13N, Range 9W
Morgan County, Illinois
An air of grandeur that is seldom found in a family cemetery marks this burial site. It is also one of the more difficult cemeteries to locate. The cemetery is on a point of land at the junction of two deep gullies. The third side of the cemetery and most logical point of entry is covered by thick brush, berry bushes and thorn trees (as is the cemetery itself). It is necessary to approach within a few yards before being able to see the cemetery, even though it has some tall and beautiful grave markers. About a dozen of the tombstones listed here were completely buried approximately four inches beneath the surface of the ground. They were dug out of the earth by John Philip Rochester on Jan. 12, 1972. Seymour Cemetery is a fifteen minute walk south of the nearest country road. This new and updated listing was completed by Earl Deatherage and Shirley A. Aleguas on 15 June 2004.
