Description: Forse Cemetery is a small family cemetery, with only a few known burials. It is currently located on private propery. At one time, you would need to get access through the U of I and their telescope which is located near by, but since then a lot of the land around there, including where the cemetery is located was purchased by D. McCollum - where he takes a different path back to where the cemetery is located.

In May 2009, D. McCollum was very helpful in meeting me and taking me back to where the cemetery is. (Me - holding on the back of a tractor holding my camera case going up & down hills, through heavy mud, forging a creek - all to get a GPS reading & a few pictures of the area, stone base, and possible couple of footstones that were found.) Anyway, even though not much was not there - a GREAT thanks to the land owner for taking me back there. At that time, he told me he wanted to fix the cemetery up & a comment below seems to confirm that.

Pictures: I took pictures of what I could find in this cemetery in May 2009.

Internment List: I created this internment list (INDEX OF PICTURES) using my pictures, along with old cemetery readings and any other records that could be found. I have also created a similar list for the IGHS (Illiana Genealogical & Historical Society) that includes additional information then what is found here, so please check them out if you are looking for additional information. PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT guarantee the list of be 100% accurate or correct. If you have any additional information or corrections, please feel free to add a note below. Also PLEASE do not copy the list & call it your own - give credit back to COAN.NET or to this site, VermilionCounty.info. Thanks
