Location: Georgetown Township, Section 23, Edwardsville-Galena
Road behind Floyd Central High School, desecrated by construction of
a subdivision. Between 25-50 graves are located here but only 2 stones
remained in 1981.
This cemetery sits on the original land granted to John Meriwether
in 1817 and it is mentioned in his will in 1847.
"I further will that one quarter of an acre of land be kept by my family
as a burying place to include the graves now made which graveyard or
burying place shall be sacredly kept as such and my no means or under
any circumstances whatever be cultivated or tilled by any person or
persons whatever."
John and his wife are likely buried here along with other family members
