    1. [ILHANCOC] Directions to Fountain Green & Webster Cemeteries
    2. Hi Terasa, I responded earlier to Ron Bryant's inquiry on how to reach the Webster Cemetery. As I told him, this is a drive I've made so many times that I have never paid close attention to mileage and road signs. I will follow this up with directions to the Majorville and Willis Cemeteries. Here are the directions to both the Fountain Green Cemetery at Fountain Green, Illinois, and the Webster Cemetery, Webster, Illinois, from LaHarpe, Illinois. Illinois Route 9 runs east and west through LaHarpe. Just beyond the west side of LaHarpe and just beyond where Route 94 joins Route 9 from the north, there is a southbound turn off onto a paved road to Fountain Green. I believe there's a sign at that intersection for Fountain Green. I think it's less than ten miles to Fountain Green. Just before entering Fountain Green, which today is little more than a cluster of houses, the Fountain Green Cemetery is on the east side of the road. This cemetery is kept mowed and neat. Continuing into Fountain Green, two or three minutes at most, the road will end at a T, east-west intersection. Turn right/west and stay on the paved road to reach Webster. There may be a sign. It's just about two miles. Like Fountain Green, Webster today is also a cluster of houses. The driver will see on the right/north side, a two-story building that used to be the General Store. On the east side of this building, turn right/north for one block, turn left/west for two or three blocks until you can't go any further, then right/north again for one or two blocks. The cemetery will be on the left/west side of the road. It's a nice little cemetery with an iron fence around it. Anytime I've been there, it has also been mowed and neat, with no trash or litter.
