contact the Henry County Genealogical Societ at Box 346, Kewanee, Ill. 61443...Here is what it says on my cemetery book..::: Old Kewanee Public cemetery was the first public burial grounds in Kewanee. The grounds were donated by col Sylvester Blish wherein he was later buried. The first burial was that of Adelaide e. Blisyh, daughter of William and Eliza Blish, in 1854..Through the years adequate records were not kept or were lost. Therefore, there are mor buirls in this cemetery than are listed in the tombstone inscriptions. There are 26 burials marked only by an existing base, and 10 broken stones with some parts of information. Some graves have no stone and are marked as such, the information obtained from the sextons records. Further information could be secured from the Office of hte city Clerk of Kewanee. do you just need dates of some one buried there? I have the list of names, born: and where from if you need a lookup. cindy ----- Original Message ----- From: "janice" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2000 6:33 PM Subject: Re: [ILHENRY-L] Old Kewanee Cemetery > Pat, try the Pleasant View Cemetery.
