This family plot with its beautiful monuments, is located in T41 R5 S5 NW¼ of the NW¼ and is currently on private property. Anyone wishing to visit the old cemetery must receive permission from the current land owner.
The family cemetery is named for Willis Rogers born 15th February 1823 and died 3rd
December 1881. The earliest burial date in this cemetery from monuments is his. This tract of land was first
entered into record as Original Land Deed #27058 issued to
Willis Rogers, for 40.76 acres, on 2nd May 1859 for Lot #3 of the NW¼ of T41 R5 S5, adjoining another tract originally entered to him, certificate #28319, 1st March 1860 for W½ Lot #2 NW¼ of T41 R5 S5, containing 40 acres.
There is much land buying and selling going on between members of the Rogers family between 1876 and 1898. No direct deeds pertaining to this tract were found. The property probably was transferred by will thru probate court order but this is a guess on my part.

The clarity of the lettering on the photographs is due the "shaving cream" method. There are many unmarked graves in this cemetery that at one time had a wire fence around it. There are also many fieldstones denoting graves, some sunken graves, and flowers planted at various locations. The site looked to be laid out with 5 or 6 graves wide and 4 or 5 rows deep.
