This will be a listings of the Adam's County Cemeteries with Kathy Mills typing them up; plus, while she was there last summer she took some photos of the cemeteries.  Foxie will be making the web pages for this site; plus, I too took photos of tombstones while visiting Kathy and her husband, Hare, and another friend of mine who lives in Clayton, IL, for years. Kathy Mills is the County Coordinator, of this site but unable to do research for anyone due to living in North Carolina. was now info below

Linda McGee is County Coordinator of the site, Linda is your host.  She has joined IL Saving Graves, email group and has asked to do this county. So, everyone Welcome Linda McGee to Adams County, IL. @ IL Saving Graves County, Web Site. I will still be making the web pages for her but you will be seeing cemetery listings and tombstone photos from Linda in the near future. Thanks so much Linda for joining me in my quest to put this information online for others to enjoy and get some rewards from.  I thank you everyone's ancestors thanks you also in enabling others to be able to or possibly be able to locate that special person they have been searching for.

if you have any questions or would like to add any information or a photo of a tombstone feel free to email me.....

or  email Linda your host if you need help or information

What People are saying about our web site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linda, I was able to call Greenmount yesterday (couldn't bear to wait until Monday!).  The lady there was very nice and she found the information very fast, thanks to you giving me the block and gravesite number.

Lillian Jane Brown - born 1872
Died:  February 2, 1949
Buried:  February 7, 1949

I should have asked her if she had any record of WHERE she died, but guess I was to excited over getting the other information to even think about it.  In 1930 census, she and Richard were living with their daughter,  Marvel Alkire in Adams County.  Marvel was head of the household at the time.  Marvel married a ?? McLaughlin according to Richard's obituary.  So it is possible that Marvel relocated after the second marriage and Lillian lived with her after the death of Richard. 

Thanks to you, I have a
LOT MORE INFORMATION now than when I placed the inquiry.  You and your Illinois Saving Graves are doing a very worthwhile service for people.....especially for those living at a great distance.              Ruth

Hi Linda,
 
Here I was searching looking and hunting for dead relatives (again) and SO VERY PLEASED to locate:    
 
Charles F Hubert and his wife and son at Evergreen Chase Cemetary in Fowler (with excellent pictures)
 
AND Louis B Hubert (GGG Grandfather) Mound Prairie Cemetary (with a birthday and death date that I hadn't been able to find)
 
AND I also believe I found another HUBERT's children at Old Beverly Cemetary.
 
Louis B Hubert is the father,  JL & EA Hubert (parents of children who are buried at Old beverly is Louis oldest son and Charles  L Hubert is another son.
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making it possible for family to find family.

While trying to find the Adams County Courthouse website I believe you can go to this link to get records and order them online.  Most courthouses in IL now have this added feature at the courthouse. I found this link to the County Clerk's Records:

Linda called to my attention a couple of mistakes on here on the listings. I originally got the listings from the IL Genealogical site online for all counties and this one for Adam's . The main ones that had changes to are high-lighted in white background.

The county was established January 13, 1825 and named for President John Quincy Adams. John Wood is regarded as the founding father of Adams County. Wood and his friend, Willard Keyes, first settled in the area in 1819.

The tombstone photos below were taken by Linda McGee. She then went home & used her Photoshop on the photos. On the left is the before -- on the right is the after photo-shop. She was so proud of her new found skill she had to share it with you.

As of November 11, 2009-- I was informed if we don't get enough donations this year I will probably be without a web hosting. Usgennet.org is not receiving enough in donations to carry on. So, I've decided in order to keep this up if they do go under which I hope they do not and if you would like to contribute click here, it is one of the very few Non-profit organizations for genealogy that is left and in order to provide more information plus, tombstone photos I'm in the process of doing this for each of the counties in IL. Here you can also join and upload tombstone photos of your own to add to the many I have already put online. some cemeteries are complete some are not. Springdale ones are all on here over 1,0000 photos.  took me awhile but they are on. I have so many on my computer and back up drive and felt they were not doing anyone any good just sitting here so I found this .ning.com site and it's a wonderful place. Hope you will join me. Thanks just click on the link below. I approve all membership to make sure they are for this purpose. Thanks & Happy Gene Hunting
