No lake, Tim, Rebeccah is almost across the road from the Village. But is quite a long way up a hill in a thick woods full of brush and berry bushes. Apparently no attempt has been made to maintain it, but there is a big rock with a plaque set into it. A description will appear in the new updated "Guide to Madison County Cemeteries" that Anita Ingalls will be making available through MCHS in few weeks/months. I may be able to get a picture in better weather.
