Exploring and Restoring A 189 Year-Old Rural Graveyard | Brush Creek Cemetery Knox Co. IL

Описание: I explore the 189 year-old Brush Creek Cemetery in rural Knox County, Illinois, and restore its oldest gravestones. Located in a clearing of a forest reached by a path next to a cornfield, this old graveyard is located in Cedar Township. A list of every gravestone I was able to identify, and its inscription, is further down in this description.
