About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

There is a single gravestone for Ira Essex, the 8 year old son of Simeon & Dorinda (Essex) ESSEX, who was buried on their farm in 1864. It is located in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 9 in Drury Township, Rock Island County, Illinois.

The gravestone is behind a cornfield on the south side of 120th Ave West (Highway 92) and is 3.3 miles west of the Post Office in Illinois City, Illinois and approximately 4.7 miles east of the bridge in Muscatine, Iowa.

At the back of the cornfield a grove of trees juts out toward the road so the field makes a right turn to go around them and in this corner the headstone is standing about 30 feet from the edge of the cornfield. It is sometimes visible from the road.

PLEASE NOTE THIS GRAVESTONE IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE OWNER DOES NOT LIVE NEARBY. YOU MUST GET PERMISSION TO GO ON HIS PROPERTY. There is no road going out to the gravestone.
