Spring Grove Cemetery          Spring Grove Cemetery is located on the west side of U.S. Highway 67 about six and a half miles north of Monmouth, Illinois, in the southeast corner of section 20 in Spring Grove Township.  It is approximately 1 acre in size and was in use primarily during the late 1800's.  The Presbyterian Church purchased the land for a burial ground on September 6, 1959, from Middleton Fulton.  Presently, the maintenance and management of the cemetery is under the direction of four trustees appointed by the court in the late 1960's for terms of unlimited tenure.  The cemetery is burned off regularly and trees are removed;  it is not mowed because it is an outstanding area for native grasses and forbs in the State of Illinois.  In May 1981, the Spring Grove Cemetery inscriptions were identified as:      Foxie Hagerty purchased the records of this cemetery from the Warren County Genealogical Society to publish here for your convenience.  Transcribed and typed by Kitty Smith, Web-Assistant, and edited by Foxie before publishing. ©FHKS£2004
All of the above photos were taken last summer - 2006- when Kate, my daughter and I finally located this cemetery. By the high vegetation you can tell it's not an easy task but we had been searching and finally located it. As we had or rather Kate was suffering from poison oak she got into in another cemetery we did not venture out into this one for better photos. We hope to get there this spring before it all grows back up again. The Monmouth College has the care of this cemetery plus the state of Illinois as it was made into a Illinois Prairie Reserve. All photos are thumbnails and will open in their own window for a better view when clicked upon. Thanks!!! They are thumbnails you may click on them and view a slightly larger photo.
