The OES visited the Kirkwood Cemetery on October 18, 2002. Kirkwood Cemetery is located off of State Route 42, just west of London in Madison County. This is a rather large cemetery for the area and was still in use on our visit. Many of the older tombstones that we found were from the mid-1800s, so that could be around the time the cemetery was founded. The cemetery also featured a mausoleum that was 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 throughout the cemetery. Undoubtedly, there are a few Civil War Soldiers buried here along with soldiers from many wars after. The photos on this page are just a small collection from the cemetery.
