BURR OAK CEMETERY - EST ??

Burr Oak Cemetery is located on Englehart Rd, 1/4 mile east off Burr Oak Rd [3 mi S of the Wisconsin state line.] Note: Burr Oak Rd runs north off Hunter Rd in Leroy Township. The cemetery lies on the north side of the road. There no doubt were more stones and burials at one time. Even of the names listed at the link below, some no longer have headstones.

The cemetery was walked in early 1980s by Helen Maxwell Williams - an amazing person who has spent many incredible hours researching the entire county. She adds information to the cemetery records that she has uncovered throught census and newspaper archives. Helen has generously given ComPortOne permission to post the information.

Hidden in the brush	The weeds are too high
Some stones are standing	Along the fenceline
Stone has sunken deep	Heaped in a pile
