Russell Cemetery Russell Cemetery is located on the north side of the northeast quarter of Section 6 in Haw Creek Township, Knox Co., Il. It is back in a cornfield to the south of the road. It is fenced and mowed. This spring someone has been repairing the stones. Willma Butts and Pam Eagle recopied the stones and dug some of them out of the ground. We found two that had been completely covered over with grass. Another stone was found along the fence. Many stones are missing, as you can easily spot sunken graves. We tried out be to copy this exact . June 1982... Since this time the
cemetery has been restored. There are three Revolutionary War Soldiers
buried in this cemetery. One is Abraham Haptonstall, David Manley, and John
Strange. I have photos of these
tombstones and many more from the Russell Cemetery. If you are interested
email me. While I have made every effort possible with information
gathered by me; if you would like to add any corrects, additions, or
omissions are greatly appreciated. Thank you. Feel free to
