Local history and genealogy researchers will find an abundance of burial sites scattered across the rural townships, from the Oakland Cem near the village center to more isolated locations like Pruitt Cem, Elliott Cem, and Longwill Cem. The presence of Bethel Ch and various family-named landmarks such as Moore Cem highlights the early settlement patterns of these central Illinois farming districts during a period when rural schoolhouse and church networks were still clearly identifiable on the land.
