Lee Cemetery
Elizabethtown, Hardin County, IllinoisNorth of Elizabethtown on 146, north on State Hwy 3 (aka Bassett School Road), west on private drive.
I had only a couple of hours to record all of the stones in this cemetery, so not all were recorded to
perfection. This is the Lee Cemetery on the original homestead of Benoni & Patience Lee, not visible from
the road. It is on a hill with old fencing still keeping the cattle out.
