The Etter Cemetery is located about 2 miles south of Palmyra, in Macoupin County Illinois and about 1/4 mile east of Route 111, it sits on a hill. The cemetery was listed as an exception for the "cemetery ground" with its legal description in a land sale of the Etter heirs in 1908. The original donor of the land was Henry Etter. The cemetery is laid out with what appears to be a drive down through the middle of the cemetery and the stones situated along both sides of the driveway or wide walkway. At present it is all overgrown and appears to not have been cut or cleaned up in years. It is a lovely location atop the hill, overlooking a pond at the foot of the hill on the west side. It is situated on land belonging to the Stults family and they maintain a gravel roadway up to the cemetery.
