Visiting Elizabeth and Woodbine Cemetery

2000 August 8, Tuesday · Jo Daviess, Illinois

I asked to visit Elizabeth and the Woodbine cemetery on this trip. I think the actual name is Jewels Prairie, but the family commonly calls it Woodbine because it is in the Woodbine township in Jo Davies county. Many family plots are in this cemetery, both Bonjour and Krell. From the entrance of the cemetary you can see the farm where Elsie Krell (my great-grandma) was born.

This is the car dealership in Elizabeth. Dad really likes this building.

These are some family plots at Woodbine cemetery; one says Green (for Bernita Green and eventually Warren) and the other is Bonjour (I think for Paul and Elsie).

I found a frog at the cemetery! I left it in the hanging basket next to Aunt Sis’s grave.
