(Research):*HALL CEMETERY
Jackson Co, IL
Recorded by Geneva Pate Ruble, 1967
Typed by Jinks Pate Lee, 9 Jul 2001

Situated on a steep wind-swept hill on the Frank Maes Farm is the
old Hall Cemetery. No burials have taken place here since before
the turn of the century, although a few graves at the foot of the
hill were made after 1900, these are said to belong to some colored
folk who had no place to bury their dead, and were given permission
by the Maes family to bury them here. As for the Hall Cemetery itself,
it is not discernable from the gravel road nearby, due to the fact
that all of the stones are toppled over.Some are buried in the ground,
cattle range on this cemetery, but unlike the Holliday Cemetery,
there is no wild tangled growth here as Mr Maes has kept it cleared
of any growth and it is all in lush pasture which he keeps mowed.
What appear to be rocks or large stones from the road are the
grave-stones.

On my first visit to this cemetery I was elated to find my
great grandmother's sister, TRYPHENA (DRAPER) HOLLIDAY buried here.
(It is not known why she is buried here instead of in the Holliday
Cemetery, which is located about 3/4 mile south). On my first visit
I found only the top portion of her stone which was broken in two.
It was a very cold windy day and I had to shorten my visit and search.
However, on May 7, 1967 my visit was long, my search thorough, and
very rewarding. I not only found the bottom part of her stone, but
found that the top part was lying about 40 feet from the bottom part,
beside which is the grave and stone of her husband, GEORGE HOLLIDAY.
They were buried side-by-side on the very outer edge of this hill.
