There is a small village outside Decatur called Oakley which is in Macon county Ill. They have a tiny well-kept cem called Dunkard/Franz cem and it's very well cared for. Might that be the one???

The small cemetery in Oakley, Macon Co., Ill. is a family cemetery for the Baker family. So far as I know, it is still private, but I could be wrong. my aunt married a Baker, and she along with her husband, and three of her children, all of her sons, are also buried, I think the last son to be buried was Jan. 1, 2000. a few years ago, there was an article in the Decatur newspaper along with her picture, about her youngest son, who was killed in Viet Nam. There was a picture of the cemetery also. There is the last surviving child, a daughter, and other members of the family keep the cemetery maintained. You would have to contact somebody in Oakley, about non family members buried there.

Also, in Oakley there is a "Cross Family Cemetery" which has a few other names in it besides Cross..
