CUMBERLAND COUNTY, ILLINOIS
berry cemetery
On
August 21 2005 I walked the Berry Cemetery along with my husband and
we recorded the following headstone inscriptions, many of the stones were unreadable and
we didn't even try on those. You will find some names spelled
wrong but just let me know and I will change the spelling.
These listings are in no particle order, I walked up and down each row
and when I came to a headstone
I couldn't read I just skipped over it and went on to the next.
On the archway
entrance to the cemetery
there is a plaque that says
"Built By John R. Kelley In
Memorial To His Wife Who Died August 10 1929"
The Sign says the Berry Cemetery was
started in 1931
