St. Joseph's Cemetery Adam County, IL


Brought to by Linda McKee your Adams county Host. questions comments, corrections, additions always welcome email Linda
St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery is located on E 1500th St, which is about 10 miles east of Quincy, IL (Gilmer township, Adams county). If you take Rt 104 east out of Quincy, towards the airport, you will turn left (north) onto E 1500th St and travel about 2 miles. The cemetery and the church sit off to the left of the road. This is a pretty little cemetery, well maintained. I believe that I've taken a photo of every headstone in the cemetery. I'd like to thank the Great River Genealogical Society for "filling in the gaps". I used their cemetery book "St Peters Cemetery and Adams County Catholic Cemeteries" as a reference tool when I was unable to read a stone. I'm pleased with the way that most of the photos turned out and I hope that you'll like them too. The GRGS book had a couple of listings that I could not find: Sophia Nodler (1857 - 1930), Joseph Herzog (1867 - 1944), and an unknown Herzog. Enjoy! Foxie's Note: Due to circumstances beyond our control the thumbnails on this page are not working correctly. I've two deaths in my family and will get this fixed as soon as possible They are also on the photo gallery page but do not have the names under them. Sorry & thanks!!!
