Williamsfield Cemetary Records copied from 1976 Spoon River Chapter of the DAR In May 1894, M.C. Spangler purchased a five acre tract of land one half mile North of town where he started the Williamsfield Cemetery. He continued to own it until about 1923 when he sold it to Churchill Construction Co. of Bushnell, Illinois, who in the fall of 1924 built a fine Mausoleum there containing 100 crypts. Three years later a local Cemetery Association was formed and the Burial Ground became local property. Since that time many improvements have been made. A complete list of all recorded lot owners and Mausoleum deeds, and a list of burials as taken from Tombstones to December 1, 1972, are on the following pages. Compiled by Mildred C.
