2008 prior to clean up

Swan Creek Cemetery is located in Section 5, Washington Precinct. From Fairbury, go Go north on Hwy 15 12-13 miles, until you reach 726th Road, which is the county line. Turn west, and continue about 2 1/4 miles. The cemetery is on the south side of the road on the Jefferson Co side. There is a sign marking the cemetery, and a field drive you can pull into. When I visited this cemetery in 2007 & 2008, it was in poor condition. It was overgrown with heavy weeds, brush and sumac, and if it wasn't for the sign next to it, I probably would not have seen it. In July 2009 I found that the overgrown vegetation had been removed and a new sign placed. It is not currently fenced, but there were fence poles in place. This is a listing of all stones found in July 2009. Row 1 begins in the northwest corner of the cemetery.
