Cemeteries and tombstone inscriptions of Madison County, Illinois / prepared by Joyce Meyer. ([Edwardsville, IL] : Madison County Genealogical Society, c1984-<2003>)
v 10 p. 3 - Lusk Cemetery - this apparently does not exist anymore. Apparently John T set aside land outside the town for a cemetery, reserving a part for the family, and another part for itinerant ministers. So there were no graves to be read, only people said so-and-so was buried here.
