Thank YOU---STEVE!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Technically, this cemetery is known as ROBINSON- MOSSVILLE or MOSSVILLE-ROBINSON. This hard to get-to cemetery is classed as DESPOILED beyond repair. There is no way to drive to it. It rests atop a hill off Illinois Route 29. Just before the village of Mossville is the Mossville Road. Crossing a creek a Methodist Church is on the right. The only way I've found to get to the cemetery is to park in the church parking lot, cross the street & climb the hill through trees, brush, etc. Be sure you are "in shape" as the climb is strenous. Cemetery rests atop the hill. Several stones remain though it's obvious that it is a beer drinking party place. One grave has been tampered with. No evidence could be found to verify if the violators reached the coffin. PEORIA COUNTY POLICE INVESTIGATED.
