Cemetery Name: Newell Cemetery

Also Known As: Newell Grove Cemetery, Old Grove Cemetery

Location:  Newell Township, North East of Danville

Approximate GPS Location:  40.211944 -87.60033 (link to Google Map)

Description: James Newell was a early pioneer in the area, and both Newell Township & this cemetery was named for him. (At one time he owned most of the land in Newell Township). The cemetery was on a mound which was surrounded by trees. (Some say the mound was an Indian mound.) In 1974, the owner of the land (who did not live in the area), bulldozed the cemetery over. I have put an aerial photo from 1940 below which SHOULD have the location of the cemetery on it - but all I know is it is north of the airport - I believe somewhere in this mile block... but where? (near the road - near the middle - ????? PLEASE, if you know more detail on the EXACT location, PLEASE leave a comment below.)
