Kirkwood Cemetery

The OES visited the Kirkwood Cemetery on October 18, 2002. Kirkwood Cemetery is located just off of State Route 42, just west of London in Madison County. This is a rather large cemetery for the area and is still in use today. Many of the older tombstones that we found there are from the mid-1800s, so that may have been around the time the cemetery was founded. The cemetery also features a mausoleum that is built into the side of a hill. The date above the mausoleum's doors states that it was built in 1881. There was no entry point to gain access to the mausoleum. There were many statues and large monuments in this cemetery. Undoubtedly, there are a few Civil War Soldiers buried here along with soldiers from many wars after. The photos on this page is just a small collection from the cemetery.
