WINNER CEMETERY
The Winner Cemetery is in the NW Corner of the NW
1/4 of Section 14, Hadley Township - two miles
south of Beverly, Adams Co., Illinois. It is
on the south side of the road which follows the Pike/Adams
County line, surrounded by land owned by A. Babcock.
It is sometimes called the Babcock Cemetery.
It consists of about four acres, all of which is overgrown
with brush and briars. There are many trees
of various sizes - mostly black locusts. There
was evidence of many unmarked graves, and a few
marked by creek rocks. Many markers were down
and some completely covered, though not
deeply. The last burial date faound was 1952.
Gone, but not forgotten...
