This is a beautiful spot at the northwest edge of the town of Cedarville, Illinois, and has been used as a burial ground since 1850, when a child of John H. Addams was buried there. At that time it was a small burying ground for the Addam's family on their land. In 1859 a Cemetery Association was formed, and this land was acquired for a public cemetery. Previous to that time burials had been made at back of the school house, and there some bodies still remain, although most of them have been removed to the present cemetery. Date of earliest inscription is 1839.
Mr. George Kryder of Cedarville was an early secretary of the Cemetery Association and had custody of all records. These do not include records of the early burials as those were never recorded. Mr Kryder said there have been 1077 interments.
The cemetery is still in use, and it is here that the late Jane Addams of Hull House was buried.
