WILL Cemetery
The WILL family cemetery, better known as
"Wills", is located along the Roots Road, just north of
Ellis Grove. Cross the Kaskaskia River, and it is a short way, on the
RIGHT, nestled among a
growth of trees. In the summer it is almost impossible to see, as there is
no definite road
going back to it, just a very lightly graveled path. It is fenced
and seemed well cared for.
A note on the entries below: many of
the stones just had the year of birth/death...and due to problems
from a virus my computer had, the program will no longer just enter a date
alone. On these entries
I have written 'unknown' before the year. On the stones where the date was
unreadable, I have noted that also. The 'X' is my way of filling the space
for a neater presentation.
