Beaver Creek Cemetery
|
|
Beaver Creek Cemetery is located about three miles west of the
small town of Papineau, Illinois, in Iroquois County. It is on a
small plot of land adjacent to Beaver Creek, which runs west to the
Iroquois River.
The cemetery is also referred to as Jones Cemetery, with the name derived
from the first family of European-descent to settle in the area. The
family of Henry Jones
moved to Papineau Township in 1837.
The cemetery is a beautiful and peaceful place, surrounded by trees on all
sides. But it also hard to find, and even when you know where it is,
it can be challenging to get to.
So to save you the trouble of trekking out to the Beaver Creek Cemetery,
Proof-Genealogy.com is proud to present you with the opportunity to visit
its graves virtually.
Research began by using the list of graves that was compiled in 1976.
Since that time, a few new people have been added to the cemetery, and a
few of the stones that existed then have disappeared. The list below
includes every person known to be buried in Beaver Creek Cemetery.
If you decide to go out to Beaver Creek Cemetery, here are a few tips:
|
Beware of the neighbor's dogs. At the slightest noise, they will
begin barking, and once they know you are there, they will chase you and
your vehicle. |
|
Whenever possible, drive a truck or van, especially if the weather has
been wet and rainy. There is a risk of getting stuck in the mud, and
if this happens, help nearby will be hard to find. For this reason,
it is not recommended that you visit the cemetery in the winter or early
spring. |
|
If you are going during the summer or fall, apply insect repellent; there
are numerous mosquitoes. |
