To reach the cemetery, go east on Rte 30 approximately .2 of a
mile east of the intersection of Rt. 34 and Rt. 30 and cemetery
entrance will be on the (right) west side of the road. Cemetery
is 11 miles west of Plainfield on Rt. 30. There is an office on
site.
This cemetery was established in 1929 and is located between
Aurora and Oswego IL. It is in Kendall County on the border of
Kane County. Very beautiful, well maintained and very active cemetery.
I have no idea how many acres this cemetery covers.
There are many stones that the spelling is not what I would expect
it to be however I listed the information the same way that it
was on the stone. There are many names that have various spellings
even when they are all in the same section. Case in point; Hord,
Hord and Hordh all side by side but the h is definitely on the
end so I listed it that way. Latvia is spelled with one i on some
stones and two i s on others. On the military stones the abbreviations
are the way they were on the stones. I did try to be as accurate
as possible and hope any mistakes that I have made are few and
far between.
The names that are marked section n/a are burials that took place
after I finished reading cemetery and took those names from the
local newspaper obituary. ? - My best guess or no idea. If the
? is in the middle of a word or a date that is because I can’t
make out the number or letter.
I started walking and transcribing this cemetery in November
2007 and finished in June 2008. I have only listed the stones
and by no means is this a complete list of burials. I have tried
to be as accurate as possible in my work but I know there could
be some mistakes, mine, the stone mason’s and possibly the family.
