Craven’s Cemetery
Every tombstone photographed and transcribed Sep., 2007 by Michael J. Von Gebel vongoebel@hotmail.com
This cemetery is right on the county line of White & Wayne Co., IL; largely ignored old cemetery. Charlie Cravens and his sisters and brother-in-law Audrey Cravens Plante, and Kenneth & Yvonne (Cravens) Ray went in and did a cleanup on the cemetery, Charlie also posted the sign to mark the cemetery. We are hoping to get together and do a further cleanup on the cemetery. Directions to the cemetery are rather easy Take I-64 East and get off at Exit 117 Burnt Prairie, turn left at 2550 N, go over I-64 and after words take the first left (west) on the blacktop road after crossing I-64; Walk down through the woods heading south towards 1-64 once you see the on ramp for I-64 west walk about 20 feet past the mouth of the onramp and head North into the woods and there is Craven's Cemetery. I want to Thank Charlie for giving me directions to this cemetery.
