John Sissom found this cemetery
in 2000 to
have undergone improvements but
stones were
missing for names mentioned in the
cemetery book.
Names could have been taken from
funeral home
records and there may have not been
stones or
they could have been vandalized.
My guess. (gf) |

Western Mound |
24 |
Yes |
Located 1/2 mile west of the
village of Reader.
It is in the middle of a field,
so after proceeding west 1/2
mile on Route 108 from the
junction, turn left and go south
about 1/2 mile, and turn left onto
a dirt road between fields, and
you will find the cemetery in a
grove of trees. It was being kept
up fairly well a few years ago.
The cemetery was laid out by
Paschal Reader on his farm.
He buried his sister Nancy (Reader) Brown
there in 1834. Almost all the Reader family
who died before 1900 are buried there,
including in-laws. There are about
24 other family names there as well.
Ironically, Paschal is not buried in the Reader
Cemetery, although his monument was
erected there. He died in Texas in 1868-9
while visiting relatives there. See the story
in the
First Families for more on
this.

From Mary McKenzie:
N. W. Corner Sec. 29-8-6
One mile Southeast of Gillespie, Illinois.
Originally located on the Woodroof farm.
From first reading WPA report: "no one knows
anything about the people who were buried there.
There should be 250 graves in this cemetery, but
only 35 mounds can be distinguished by mounds.
It had also been understood that some of the dead
had been removed to other cemeteries. Only 1 stone
left standing. Others have been broken off
and rolled around the burial grounds so you
can't tell where the stones belong."
