Married., (Aug.26,1854), Albert Newton Higgins. IN Bond Twp., Lawrence Co., IL 1870. Both seem to have died prior to 1880. No record of burial location.
Destroyed Higgins Cem., Montgomery Twp., Crawford Co., IL, near border with Lawrence Co., IL., might be a possibility. It's unclear when it was abandoned, or which Higgins family was buried there. [All markers lost by 1970 ] It's location , (Sect. 22, TWP.5 N, Range 11 west, Montgomery Twp., Crawford Co., IL), means it was not the same as either the Dickerson or Seaney Cem., both also claimed to have originally been called Higgins, and be located on land which belonged to members of this family, many of whom are interred in those locations. Could this Higgins cemetery, contrary to claims involving these other two, have been the 1st burial site, established ca.1833, for this family, which arrived ca.1820? [But records seem to indicate they settled first much further to the northeast, arriving first at Palestine, Crawford Co., IL) Depending on age the Higgins Cem. probably had wooden markers. It may have been abandoned, and overgrown, as other sites became more convenient. Numerous unmarked graves have been identified among the cemeteries in the surrounding area. Time has destroyed many markers, but a gravestone could also be an expense farmers of limited means could ill afford.
