Knowles Cemetery
Macoupin County, Illinois, USA
The Knowles Cemetery is an abandoned cemetery. It is situated on the top of a hill. The brush is so thick one can hardly get through. There are about 25 graves in this cemetery but only 15 can be distinguished. Only one grave in the cemetery has a tombstone, the others are marked by common rocks. There is no driveway leading to the cemetery. There has been no cleaning done to this cemetery in the past 10 years. One cannot locate the cemetery until right on the land where the one tombstone can be seen. Large trees were cut down and the stumps are still standing. The woven-wire fence which encloses this cemetery on the south, east and west sides is almost lying on the ground. The north side of the cemetery is to the public road and is unfenced.
To reach the Knowles Cemetery one travels 4 miles southwest of Carlinville and 1/2 mile east on a surfaced road. The 1/2 mile road is dirt road and is hard to travel in wet weather. This road is seldom used. The cemetery lies on the south side of the road.
