PRATT Cemetery Pope Township, Fayette Co., IL.

We were at this Cemetery  the last week of  September of 1999. We didn't have too long to spend here and had only been to a few grave sites when I spotted a very large snake....  My idea of a large snake was not the same of Russel's but I didn't really care.... I was out of there for that day! Hopefully in the near future we will be able to make a trip back to the area and look around this cemetery some more. This is not the complete listing for this Cemetery. It's a very nice, well kept cemetery, at the entrance there is a large plaque with the names of the Civil War Veterans that are buried here. I've listed that below. There is also a Large board with  a map and burial  sites direction.
