Sangamon County, Illinois
Directions: From Rte. 104, turn north on to the New Berlin-Waverly Blacktop. Drive for 6 miles to the W. Loami Rd. (8.5S). Turn east on the Loami Road and drive for 2.0 miles to road 13W which is Staley Road. After turning on to Staley Road, the cemetery sits on your right (north of the Loami Road) and is easily seen from the Loami road. The cemetery is relatively well maintained - no brush and/or tall weeds. The stones sit among a grove of trees on a hill.
This cemetery was read on January 25, 2002 and the reading compared to a listing published by the Sangamon County Genealogical Society in 1983. Some of the stones in that listing have apparently disappeared in the intervening years, since they were not located during the most current reading. The information from their list has been included here although it is not clear where the information originated.
