I was wondering if anyone knew the location of the "Old Peoria Cemetery". I know there is one in Peoria but I was speaking to someone at one of the Funeral Homes in Hillsboro and he mentioned there was another I thought he called the "Old Peoria Cemetery". I believe he said it is south of Peoria near Aquilla. He sounded like it would be hard to give directions. Is anyone aware of this cemetery and if so the location/directions to it. I believe some of my ancestors might be buried there. One of them is John Locklear. The last name is spelled several different ways but he died in Hill County in 1858 or 1859. 1858 is the last year I found him paying taxes on some land after researching microfilm. His wife Eliza showed up in 1859 so I am assuming he passed away between 1858-1859. His wife Eliza also shows up on the 1860 census without her husband. I appreciate any information anyone might have. Thanks, Shon

You mentioned talking to someone at one of the funeral homes in Hillsboro. Do you remember the names of the ones there? I am trying to locate info on my great-great uncle and aunt, Samuel Dan BRYAN (BRYANT) and his sister, Delean Josephine BRYAN (BRYANT). They were both living in Hillsboro in 1942-1944. Thanks for any assistance. Jackie Morgan Shon Samples <network.nut@verizon.net> wrote:I was wondering if anyone knew the location of the "Old Peoria Cemetery".
