Update!

The online photo album will have all pics of the stones in the Phelps/Weeks Cemetery. Some have to be rubbed yet in order to get the dates, or inscriptions. Once completed, a full transcript will be added here.

NOTE: This is NOT a complete listing yet. I am taking pics of all the stones, enhancing them in a computer program to read the names/dates/inscriptions.

This computer program can bring back dates/names, the naked eye can not see. I am doing the same thing with the older part of the Staunton City Cemetery.

The page also has pictures of many Madison and Macoupin Co, ILL. towns, from the late 1800's and early 1900's.
