Cemetery Name: Oakhill Cemetery

Also Known As: Chester Cemetery, Kistler Cemetery

Location:  Danville Township, West of Danville

GPS Location 40.11483 -87.71419 (link to Google Map)

Description:  Oakhill Cemetery is also known as Chester Cemetery & Kistler Cemetery. (The hill next to the cemetery is known as Kistler Hill). PICTURED BELOW is the road next to the cemetery - this wall was washed out at least twice in the 1930's which caused a mess of the cemetery as you could guess. Swain cemetery was moved to this cemetery in the 1940's.

Pictures: I took pictures of EVERY stone in this cemetery in October 2007.

You have a wonderful site! I can't thank you enough. Is it okay to use your pictures on my tree I am doing for my family on ancestry.com? I love how you can actually see the dates so that I have the correct dates attached to my family.
Thank you again!

I would just like to thank you for all those photographs. Doing a family tree and looking for information is hard enough as it is. I managed to find family members and especially my great grandparents gravesite. How lucky for me! Thank you again for all the hard work you must have had to do. You have made many families very happy. Our appreciation!

Sincerely.

You really put a lot of work into this! It's great! I've ben to Oak Hill plenty of times, but never took a picture of my mom's grave, so now I have one. Practically my whole family is buried there. Grandparents, great grandparents, uncles& aunts (well you know). So thanks for the great job. She's on page #30 top row , 3rd one over I believe. Thanks again!
