Per the information found in "Inscriptions of Shelby County, Illinois Cemeteries", Volume I, written by Ed Boedecker, there are two Middlesworth Cemeteries in Shelby County. One is in Tower Hill, IL and this one is actually in Middlesworth, IL (Richland Twp). Some of the memorials have been created at the wrong Middlesworth Cemetery and I will attempt to see if Findagrave will move them. Mr. Boedecker walked this cemetery back in October 1969 and he documents the headstones he found in the above book. His book can be found at the Shelby County Historical & Genealogical Society in Shelbyville, IL.∼Abraham and Barbara had the following children:
