Walnut Grove Cemetery
(Moss Cemetery)


This cemetery is located just Northwest of Jacksonville, IL on the old Concord Rd.
It is on private property and as you can see, is in desperate need of clean-up.
The following is a listing of the Tombstone Inscriptions as of 1966, I have done my best to copy them correctly but several of the names were very hard to read.
At the bottom of the list you will find a map of the stones.
