Greenwood Cemetery


Does any one know if and how can I get ahold of a list of  plots(how they are laid out), and a list of particular surnames? (Greenwood cemetery) I want to go to Canton to check it out but dont want to walk the bosted 100 acres. The names are Brown, Wright, and Harmison for a good start.


I have a scrap book of my grandfather Robert L. Brown that has a picture and build date of the farm house built by his grandfather and great grandfather. the ol' farm is still standing just west of the airport entrance on route 9 in canton. The house is said to have been built in 1855 by Samuel and Wm. Brown. the pic was taken 1930's.


Thanx in advance

Contact the Fulton County Historical Society in Canton, IL.  They have transcripts of Greenwood Cemetery as well as transcripts of the Murphy-Sedgwick Funeral Home - combined those records provide lots of information.
