WEST PRAIRIE CEMETERY

The Macoupin County Archives has, in
its files, indexes/listings of many veterans buried in numerous
Macoupin County cemeteries. The WPA compiled the indexes during
the Depression Era.
The following list of veterans was on
one typed sheet. There were no individual “work Sheets” as there
were for some cemeteries. The list started with the letter “S”,
so I don’t know if there are more sheets available, or if these are the
only military members buried here. If your ancestor was a veteran
and is supposed to be buried here, but is not listed, it is only
because I didn’t find any more names. Perhaps another index of
names will turn up later. The information here will give you an
idea of what the WPA found on your veteran.
