Thanks to Benny Goddard of Dix, who suppliled us with record to check names. Cemetary was clean, but had a lot of broken stones, although some attempt had been made to restore them.

Many volunteers have worked very hard to provide the researchers of Jefferson County a listing of Cemeteries and to provide pictures of headstones to help you in your personal research.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE the cemetery listings and pictures that others have worked so hard to provide and add it to any other website as your own.

Thank You for understanding and respecting the work of others.

*Notes*
Submitted By: Seward Andrews * sewardandbj@mindspring.com

Louisa Graves was the wife of Arba Andrews and therefore the unaccounted for "Louisa Andrews 1797-1859".

  1. The 1850 Jefferson County census, District 10, 77/77, taken July 29,  shows Arba Andrews and Louisa, both 53 years old, both born New York, along  with 3 children born in Illinois.
  2. The 1860 Marion County census, 888/917, town of Salem, taken August 5,  shows Arba, now 63 years old and born New York, living with the family of  his 29 year old son, Seth. Louisa is not listed. Inference - Louisa died  between July 29, 1850 and August 5, 1860. Info shows "Louisa Andrews"  died in 1859.
