Bureau County IL Archives Cemeteries.....Lost Grove Cemetery ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/il/ilfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Teri Goembel TMCHG@aol.com November 1997 LOST GROVE CEMETERY, Westfield Twp., Bureau County, Illinois Section 6. Just outside of the town of Arlington at the end of Prospect Ave. Owned by the Town of Arlington and operated by the Cemetery Association. The grass is very well maintained. Some of the gravestones are missing. Others are broken or in locations other than their original locations. Some graves do not have markers. The earliest burial appears to be 1837. The cemetery is still active. This transcription was done by Carol Shipp and Kathy Addis from the Bureau County Genealogical Society in the fall of 1991. NOTE: Letters or numbers that are underlined are questionable.(In preparing this file for the USGenWeb Archives, asterisks (*) were substituted for underlines.) Letters such as A, B, etc. were used when more than one name appeared on the gravestone or where individual small markers were in a lot. Information in brackets did not come from the gravestones, but was added to the original information. The transcribers had to determine rows for the purpose of compiling these records. It was not possible to determine exact lots. Keep in mind these may differ from the original rows. For name searches of this index, use the "Find" or "Search" feature of your browser.
