Hubbell Cemetery
Little Rock, Kendall County, Illinois, USA
---
The "Hubbell Cemetery" is in the northwestern part of the township, west of Little Rock village. However, the majority of those who died in the village or its vicinity were interred in Fowler Grove Cemetery, which is across the line in Kane County. "Little Rock Village": this place was founded August 26, 1845 by Robert M. Matthews. It was an important trading point in 1848. As many as 270 teams passed through in a single day, on one road, Most of them either going to or returning from Chicago with produce grain or supplies. The tavern there, as hotels in small towns, were then called - was opened in 1838 by Mr Inscho. Other landlords of this noted tavern were, Arnold Dodge, Wareham Gates, Robert Matthews, JJ Shults, and Ephriam Buck. The coming of the railroad through the county in 1853 and its location in the southern part of township, diverted trade from the village.

Hicks, Mrs. John C. Mckenzie, who died in 1835, was the first person buried there. Nine burials are recorded. See also [link]:
