UNION Hill CEMETERY This old abandoned Cemetery is located in the Center of the South East Quarter of Section 4 of Knox Township. Take East Fremont Street Road, Galesburg; County Highway 7 out of Galesburg. You will come to a stop sign and the on left side of the road is the Livestock Barn. Go straight through stop sign keep going till you hit another stop sign, turn left, you will see a farm house on your left hand side of the road. Just as you are going down the hill look to your left and you can see when the grass is not too high a few tombstones sticking out of the ground. This is the Union Cemetery sometimes called the Shragell; It used to be called Shragell Corner's because Shragell's owned all the property around here. Robert Shragell is now living on farm.
If you have any information you'd like to add to
any of these Knox
County web pages of mine feel free to Any information, comments, suggestions are greatly appreciated as we aim to please. Thanks! Especially if they pertain to anyone in this cemetery or if you know of anyone else who might be buried here. I need to go and check this one out. I've been by it a million times on my way to Galesburg since I've lived out here in Copley Twp. Want to put it on my Illinois Saving Graves as a Cemetery to Restore.
