Southern Illinoisan 1999:

"The cemetery was incorporated in 1853. In 1878, many people who died in a yellow fever epidemic were buried there. By 1921, the cemetery was overgrown and unkempt. In 1955, the land was purchased and the cemetery was bulldozed over and turned into a pasture, a piece of history reduced to dust and memory."


St Louis Post-Dispatch June 1967:

"The proposed improvement of Route 3 will begin near the intersection of Township Road 112, commonly called Seven Mile Cemetery Road, and Route 3. From this point the proposed improvement extends easterly and is approximately parallel to present (1967) Route 3."
