Tazewell County, IL Genealogy Trails
Bequeaith Cemetery Condition
Here are the views from Sept. 2003 and Nov. and Dec. 2006.
† Condition Report September
2003 †
Lack of care and maintenance has allowed a dense growth of weeds, exceeding 6Ft. in height,
to engulf the cemetery.
Vandalism such as graffiti and stone breaking is apparent.
The irrigation equipment, from
corn fields surrounding the cemetery, has caused water- washed ravines to help despoil this scared ground.
As you can see nothing had changed in November of 2006!
