Located
on 1750N, turn west (right) off of Illinois Route 51, just southwest of Moweaqua, IL. Follow this road, it has
a few curves, to the T road and turn right. The Cemetery is on the right hand side of the road just past
the first house but before the curve.
Please note that there could be errors. A lot of the stones are in bad shape, so we did rubbings but still some
were hard to read. The former cemetery sexton , now deceased, stated that there are no official records of this
cemetery. There are also a lot of stones laying down in the ground that are to deep to try to read.
NOTE: David, Andrew and William Hays, migrated from North Otter Twp., Macoupin Co., IL. around the mid 1840's and
were all sons of William Hays and Elizabeth Unknown. Before Migrating to Macoupin Co., IL William & Elizabeth
Hays settled in Martin Co., IN. Before that they were from North and South Carolina.
Rows start from Far
Left to Right (N to S) as you go in the very front (west entrance not the south side entrance) of the cemetery.
