Walnut Ridge Cemetery was originally purchased from the Elliot family by the city of Virginia in 1873. Previous to this purchase, bodies were buried on the property of the deceased or their heirs, usually in fields. Some bodies were removed and moved to Walnut Ridge Cemetery later. This information, according to Robert Wildt, who cites information from Mrs. Luther Paschall, was taken from Reminiscences From VIrginia, Illinois collected by Catherine Collins, pub. by Cass County Historical Society.
