This small cemetery was located northwest of Waverly, Morgan County, Illinois. It was
situated just north of the Little York Methodist Church. Some stones were standing in the
1950s, but cattle and people have destroyed it. Many early Morgan County pioneers are
buried here. On April 13, 1975, Mr. & Mrs. Guy W. Martin and Reuben Bates Jr. visited
the cemetery and uncovered some of the stones. Those and some other known burials are
included in the following list.
On October 29, 2005, Earl Deatherage and I visited this small
point of land between 2 creeks to see if we could find any of the stones or remnants of stones. Two
hours of walking and probing unearthed those stones whose photographs are included below. If a name
appears in red, click on the name to bring up a photograph of that
