Cemetery Name: Oakridge Cemetery

Location:  Catlin Township, West side of Catlin

GPS Location:  40.06691 -87.71680 (link to Google Map)

Description:  Oakridge cemetery was organized in 1868. Before that, there were 2 other cemeteries in Catlin - Jones Grove (which was a family cemetery early on), and Gods Acre Cemetery. The problem was Gods Acre Cemetery was not plotted out, and was very hard to have new burials there - so 2 acres of land was purchased and plotted for the cemetery. It is a well maintained cemetery and still active.

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