Add PhotosThe cemetery is approximately 20 by 35 feet, and is enclosed by an elaborate iron grillwork fence in branch and leaf pattern.
During a ~1967 restoration effort by boys from the Illinois Youth Commission camp at Savanna, five headstones were found and cleaned. The inscriptions on all the stones were still legible. None of them was standing but only one stone was broken. All the stones have designs of trees near the top.
According to inscriptions on the stones, this was the Page family cemetery. Three generations of the family appear to he buried there, and all died within a period of 10 years. Even in 1967, no one in the area recalled the Page family, and there appeared to be no direct descendants still living there.
Mrs. William Kendall, one of Milledgeville's older residents and a resident of that neighborhood most of her life, recalled hearing that the family came from New Hampshire.
This cemetery is evidently on private property. Efforts are being made to re-locate the graveyard, obtain permission to visit, and to photograph the five gravestones.
