Guernsey Cemetery
Fulton County, Illinois

Lat: 40° 35' 03"N, Lon: 90° 23' 40"W
Lee Township, Sec 16

Contributed by Ann Stoddard, Nov 23, 2007, last edited Nov 24, 2007 [ann.stoddard@gmail.com]. Total records = 54.

To reach Guernsey cemetery take Rte 41 north out of Bushnell to Rte 9 East. The cemetery is 2.2 miles east of Manley on the north or left side of Rte 9 on top of the hill.

This cemetery was restored in 2006 by Bryon and Kathryn Palmer. The citizens of Lee Township are assessed by the township a tax to pay for the maintenance of this cemetery.

I surveyed this cemetery Oct 16, 2007. I have a digital photo of every headstone.
