Oakwood Cemetery, Upper Alton, IL

Oakwood Cemetery, Upper Alton IL

I spent many weeks at the Oakwood Cemetery, also called Upper Alton, IL Cemetery, Madison Co, IL, in March 1987. These records are all the Bakers buried at Oakwood Cemetery up until March 7, 1987.
Many didn't have stones and the information on those was taken from the main office at the Oakwood Cemetery. Thanks to the wonderful job this cemetery has done keeping records, we have an accurate list.
Just wanted to add, Iris Zimmer, deceased, Carlinville Public Librarian for many years, deserves credit for much of the work I do. Iris made a huge surname file for Macoupin Co, Illinois. She carefully extracted info from all available sources, and made surname files for each surname, to help people with research. Those files convinced me... the impossible just takes a little longer.
If you have a Macoupin Co, IL ancestor, be sure to visit the Carlinville Public Library & see if your surname has a folder!
Many thought the work Iris did was a waste of time. Truth is, THOSE people were in genealogy to make money. Iris making this file was a gift of love, it didn't center around money. Many thanks, long overdue, to a wonderful lady...
I hope she'd be proud of me for learning from her example. I want to have full Macoupin Co. IL Cemetery files online, in memory of Iris Zimmer.
Thanks to Iris, many of you have a gold mine of information in one surname folder at the Carlinville Public Library!!
