Reed Cemetery Pictures
Reed Cemetery
Posted by Jean Crowl on 2 June, 2009
Reed Cemetery is located along US Route 164 between Monmouth and Oquakwa Illinois, at the location where the Reed Methodist Episcopal Church used to stand. These pictures were taken at Reed Cemetery several years ago. I was not working on this site at the time, so was mainly taking the pictures in hopes that I would get one for all of my potential family members. I have cropped the pictures and in some cases, I have lightened them in an effort to make them easier to read. For those with low vision, I have attempted to write an inscription above each picture. I will make a trip back down there soon, to try to make certain that I have the names and information correct, but at the time of my original visit, I only took the pictures without actually trying to decode or record information. I know that some people have a dial up internet connection that can take forever to load pictures, so as I get them done, I will post a small thumbnail image for each grave Marker, once that is done you can then click on the thumbnail to get to the larger version of the picture. This first picture is the sign along the highway for Reed Cemetery
