These pages were initially created using data compiled by Virgil R. Foster and his wife, Goldie McCord Foster, of Vermont, Illinois, November 12, 1969. This resource was shared by Robert K. Campbell, who further advises that by hunting among the weeds on the north side of the graves, one can still find the stone blocks that were part of the church foundation.
We now have a portion of a different reading, shared by Alice Dierker; this reading is of particular interest because it provides some of the tombstone inscriptions. In addition we have a recap of known burials (also, apparently, a portion of a longer list) shared by Carmella Kelly, obtained from the Hancock County Historical Society. In some instances there are discrepancies in the readings; these differences are noted. Like many of the pages on this website, this section has become a repository for research shared by a group of caring individuals. Thanks are due to:
Judy & Bob Nelson deserve special mention for the beautiful, haunting tombstone photographs. Bob is a third great-grandson of Mordecai Lincoln Sr. and Mary Mudd. Mordecai, whose fate was to perish in a snowstorm and lie unfound until the snow melted in the spring, was buried in Section 29 in an otherwise forgotten location. He and Mary, who - according to two references - was buried here, were the progenitors of all the Lincolns who rest in this cemetery.
