  	Menard County RootsWeb website http://www.rootsweb.com/~txmenard/cem/cleo/cemcleo.htm Alicia Brown indicates on the above webpage: "This cemetery is in sad disrepair. I walked it about 1998 and while a few headstones were still readable, there are MANY burials that are unmarked or the markers are unreadable. Another gentleman transcribed this cemetery in 1989 and stated there were around 79 unmarked graves and 3 illegible. The difference between this 1989 transcript and my transcript 10 years later are: 1. Wilheminia (Wartenbach) Decker burial, location unknown. I found nothing to prove this. "
