Old Nauvoo Burial Grounds





In early May we visited the Old Nauvoo Burial Grounds.  The Burial Grounds are about 3 miles east of Nauvoo.

This is a special place with tender feelings about those who died here ... especially our ancestors.

The Kiosk




There is a kiosk near the center of the cemetery that contains a list of  some of those individuals who died in Nauvoo between 1839 and 1846.








Some of the names of ancestors that we recognized included Absalom Tidwell, Stephen Foote, and Daniel Spencer.
