Henderson Cemetery, Henderson Township, Knox Co., IL

Tombstone Photo Gallery.

Have made these a little different that previous tombstone photo Galleries. The thumbnails below have all been cropped to fit this size window a little better and also to make the page easier to download. You may click on the thumbnails and the photo will open in it's own window for an original shot of the tombstone. They were not cropped, and then you can save them to your computer.  Some are duplicates as I try for different shots to get a better photo. There are 281 tombstone photos and tried to weed out the same ones that might of been on the previous page. These were taken a year ago this past summer, in 2005. Many of the older tombstones are on this page. All names are under tombstones and with the older ones put more of the information as they are hard to read. Have a wonderful day & Happy Gene Hunting!!!

Email me if you have any trouble.
