Hanold Cemetery
Delhi, Jersey County, Illinois, USA
In researching their 1986 book "Brighton Township Cemeteries and Family Histories, Macoupin County 1800-1985," June Wilderman and Jean Halcom met with Truman Schneider, who owned the land on which the cemetery was located. According to Mr. Schneider, this was the first cemetery in Brighton. In later years, black people made this cemetery their burial place, but less than a dozen were buried there.
The cemetery sits on land once owned by the Albro family, and it was the Albros who established the cemetery. Mr. Schneider remembered large Albro markers, but by 1986, no trace of the stones remained.
