Wayne Cemetery is an older one in Macoupin Co. About 1 3/4 miles SE of Dorchester, Illinois.

Many stones have been destroyed over the years. These records thanks to George H. Sawyer & Mr. Kelsey, for charting the cemetery in 1970.

Iris Zimmer & I worked together to preserve cemetery records & make them available free of charge, back in the 1980's. I have donated many cemetery records to libraries over the years, and traded copies to get a complete a set as possible.

Hope to have them online in memory of Iris Zimmer. She left surname files at the Carlinville Public Library for Macoupin Co, IL. Worked many years to make family history easier (and affordable) for anyone wanting to find a Macoupin Co ancestor. Wonderful lady & one I miss...

Be sure not to overlook Iris Zimmer's surname files at the Carlinville Public Library, to get you started. The files contain: census, vital records, bios from county histories, cemetery records etc. all by surname. Many of the files are 20-30 pages per surname.
