Riley Cemetery

Located near Ridgway, Gallatin County, Illinois


The Riley Cemetery, Located near Ridgway, Illinois.
It is but a small, family plot cemetery located in a large corn field.
Those buried here are the descendents of Owen & Agnes Riley (and spouses).
There are perhaps 20-30 graves here, possibly some without obvious markings.
The Cemetery is in poor shape and has not been maintained,
however most of the visible markers are readable.

I was very fortunate to find the cemetery; the crop had just been harvested, perhaps even that morning;
the cemetery would not have been visible before the harvesting.
The cemetery is at least 1/8 mile from the nearest road.

(As time allows, I will have pictures of each stone on this Web-site.)
