Sunbury Cemetery, Livingston
County, Illinois
Sunbury Cemetery is one of some 73 cemeteries in Livingston County,
and one of at least three in Sunbury Township, but it can be identified uniquely
in several ways. First is the fact that it *is* in Sunbury Township, which is
two townships north of the county seat in Pontiac Township (see
map of townships). Further, the original
deed
to the land is a contract between the people of Sunbury Township and
two representatives of the Gammon family. The Gammon plots are in the
easternmost and oldest part of the cemetery. Of the two other "officially
recognized" cemeteries in the township, one is the Blackstone Cemetery, in
Section 7; the other is Hadley Cemetery, a small cemetery in Section 33. Sunbury
Cemetery itself is in Section 21 and is just off Route 170, formerly known as
Katydid Road. Clicking
here
will bring up a map to that location. The photograph below shows how the
cemetery slopes upward toward the west from Katydid Road.
