I have a list of the people who are recorded in the
Lincoln County Cemeteries books which I found in the library in Stanford.
However, since my husband and I have been working
out on the farm to restore the cemetery, I have found several others not
known (or at least not listed) as being buried there. Some of the tombstones
are not currently readable.
All of them are broken from their bases and many are broken in pieces. I do
have pictures but the cemetery has been not only let go to the elements, it
looks as if at some point,
someone may have tried to "bury" the whole thing. I have
also found a tombstone/memorial stone which is missing only the name but has
the birth and death dates of someone who
" died as a prisoner of war at Camp Douglas" which you probably
know was a Civil War prison camp in Chicago, IL for Confederate
soldiers. I have been trying to find the
name of this man and have contacted Camp Nelson. The soldier(s) who may be
buried there can and will with confirmation receive new military stones. One
may be a
revolutionary war vet as well.
Quite a few of the stones I have uncovered are at or
beyond what we were told marked the boundaries. I think that we are
going to have to find someone
knowledgable in cemetery restoration to help us as the stones are so
scattered and many are broken into multiple pieces.
I will send a listing of who is recorded as being buried there and those we have found in addition. Thank you so much for your reply and interest.
Thank you again, Kelli Whitt
