Boyle Family Cemetery
McNabb, Putnam County, Illinois

Lat: 41° 08' 33"N, Lon: 89° 13' 23"W
Magnolia Twp, Sec 21

Contributed by Madena Whitesell, May 09, 2006 [iluvot2@yahoo.com]. Total records = 37.

To reach this cemetery from McNabb take Rt 89 south to 250 N. Go west (right) onto 250 N for 1 mile. The cemetery is behind a home, enclosed by a wire fence.

This cemetery is on private property and not accessable to the public. One would have to get permission to visit it. It is inactive at this time and very well maintained by the Boyle family.

I have photos of all of the existing stones, if interested contact me. Plot numbering starts at the northeast corner of the cemetery.

The cemetery was surveyed by myself and a Putnam County Historical Society volunteer on Apr 08, 2006.
