HENSON CEMETERY

Transcribed and compiled by Laurie Selpien

 

I am trying a new format out for cemetery information. The information on this cemetery is not based on just headstone inscriptions but rather by state database records found on line as well as personal obituaries saved by my grandmother Hazel SMITH Lane, obituaries exchanged with other researchers, the Illinois State Historic Library, Legacy of Kin 1&2, Illustrated and Descriptive Sketch Book of Wayne Co., Il. (1903) as well as Betty Beeson and Doris Bland books.

 Information in this color is based on Deselm Funeral Home Cards donated by Betty Wheat 

Blue row indicates known war veteran! 

  

Death Certificate numbers were found in the Illinois Statewide Database http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html

 

Although we have tried to be as accurate as possible in our research, mistakes happen, if you know of any corrections or additions to this family please contact me, thanks Laurie lselpien@msn.com

 

The Henson Cemetery is located in Orchard Township, section 3, north of Orchardville, Illinois, Wayne County, Illinois
