ALTONA CEMETERY  

Located in the North West Quarter of Section 21, Walnut Grove Township; at the South West edge of Altona. Section 1; East side, Section 2, & part of Section 3.  They are marked in the table so you know where they start and stop with brief description of where in section they started.  But I find that section 2 is not marked so Kate and I will have to go and see where it starts and ends.

Foxie's Note: Since beginning putting this cemetery online, I have learned the original cemetery records were destroyed in a fire.  However, they, the Walnut Grove Twp., has made of map of all who owns lots here and have been keeping track of who is buried in what lot. It is kept at the Walnut Grove Twp. Building in Altona, IL.  But prior to certain years is uncertain who is buried in what lot.  Same goes for the Walnut Grove Cemetery which you may find listings on this site also for person buried in that cemetery. I also have some photos with more to come.  Just need time to be able to get them online.

Any comments, suggestions, advice, help, requests, anything

feel free to email me.  Thanks!
