McDonough County Cemetery Markers Photos

-------------------------------------------------

Previously, the McDonough County Historical Society located cemeteries in the county and placed a marker at each one, so the cemeteries would not be lost and so that those who came before us will not be forgotten.

A marker has been placed at 95 cemeteries in the county. 

 

The McDonough County Cemetery Marker Project was a project of

the McDonough County Historical Society, Macomb, Illinois.

The project was coordinated by Gil Belles

of the McDonough County Historical Society. 

The cemetery markers project was supported by Clugston-Tibbitts Funeral

Home in Macomb and Blandinsville, the Community Quality of Life

Advisory Committee, Dodsworth-Piper-Wallen Funeral Home in Macomb, Table Grove State Bank,MidAmerica National Bank, the McDonough County Highway Department, the McDonough County Genealogical Society and the McDonough County Historical Society.
