>>
>> GRIMES CEMETERY
>> (located about 5 miles west of Jerseyville in Jersey Co., IL)
>> Joseph R. Campbell January 22, 1822 - August 27, 1904
>> Ellen Campbell November 13, 1882 - November 8, 1907
>> On back of Joseph and Ellen Campbell's large stone is inscribed:
>> CHILDREN OF J.R. AND ELLEN
>> Anna L. Campbell August 16, 1857 - August 11, 1879
>> Robert B. Campbell November 21, 1859 - October 11, 1889
>> Laura T. Campbell April 29, 1855 - December 9, 1935
>>
>> There are empty spaces on either side of the above stone which may
>> contain unmarked graves. Behind the above stone is a row of NEELY
>> family
>> tombstones, and behind that the CAMPBELL family resumes with
>> the following (from left
>> to right, in a row):
>>
>> Baby Campbell (unreadable)
>> Nancy, wife of John Lyons October 1, 1819 - September 21, 1855
>> Infant Nancy April 15, 18(1?)8
>> Sarah Ann Campbell May 12, 1834 - June 16, 1900
>> Alex. Campbell April 3, 186(2? or 4?) age (7d ?)
>> George C. R. Campbell April 2, 1863 age 45y 10m 3d
>> Mary Campbell, wife of William May 21, 1797 - September 25, 186(5?or
>> 8?)
>> William Campbell March 2(3? or 7?), 1795 - July 9, 1878(8?)
>> (Inscribed on stone: Born in ___________- New Da??? Co, NC)
>> Mary Jane Irter Apr 5, 1851 - October 18, 1889
>> (Inscribed on stone: Erected by Friend Ruthey Campbell)
>> (In the 1900 census Charles is enumerated in the household of Ruthy
>> Campbell)
>>
>> Next I came home and checked the
usgenweb.com website for Jersey

>>
>> Infant Campbell April 4, 1848
>> James R. Campbell Mar 16, 1862 - Nov 2, 1961 (son of Joseph R. &
>> Eleanor
>> Young Campbell)
>> Mary Campbell February 19, 1817
>> Rebecca Campbell September 23, 1823 - July 8, 1840
>>
