I'm slowly getting all the information along with TONS more over on my redesigned site - but in case something is missing, here are some old links that should still work: [old map page] [old cemetery list] [old picture page] Vermilion County has around 125 cemeteries. I have visited almost all of them. Each cemetery now has their own page dedicated just to that cemetery. Hopefully this will allow more detailed information about each cemetery.

Subject: Maybe a mystery cemertaty
You are doing a excellent job for all interested in finding their ancestors. I was born in my grandfathers house in Tilton back in 1931 so as I read the names on the various head stones,in Oakhill, Songer, Greenwood, Pleasant Hill, I remember many of those families and individules personally and very well. I am a Korean Vet and of course I look at the military head stones with interest. So many of my friends are now gone. There was one in Oakhill cemetary which really caused a double take because I still have photo's in my family photo's of the two of us playing marbles on the front sidewalk of the old two room school in Hillery. Such memories. However the last time I was back home in 2007, I was looking for some of my ancestors when I ran into a small cemetary at the side of the road.It is evidently a family plot, and rather beat up, but some one had been taking some care of it. Perhaps you are aware of this but perhaps not. The location is east of Songer cemetary, on the Songer Cemetary road. As one follows the gravel road east, it will eventually turn south. the location of this plot is on the left hand side of the road going south. If memory serves me there is a tree growing in the site, but I don't recall if any graves are disturbed yet. Anyhow if you are aware of this plot, okay, if not perhaps you would want to check it out. Keep up the good work. Loral January 04, 2012 - 19:51

The site used is US Board of Geographic Names under geonames.usgs.gov where you search domestic names. January 04, 2012 - 19:40
Subject: Locating cemeteries
I use the following site when wanting to locate a specific location. This search engine will locate a place by name or feature. First, pick your state then pick county and put in the actual name. Or, pick state then type in feature name (cemetery, school, etc.) leaving off the county. I learned Vermillion County has 128 cemeteries. I hope this helps your mapping. I also have photograghed cemeteries and your site is truly an encouraging work. Thank you May 29, 2011 - 19:08
