Weston Cemetery

WESTON CEMETERY Elizabeth Township This cemetery is located in the SW quarter of the NW quarter of Section 22. It was part of the old mining town of Weston which was abandoned after the lead was mined out. The cemetery is on South Weston Road near the intersection of Route 20 West and Route 84 going south. No burials are currently being interred in this cemetery. These tombstones were read twice. The first time by Chester R. Johnson in 1966. He was located at the Savanna Ordnance Depot using his weekends to copy tombstone inscriptions in cemeteries near to the Depot. He donated his transcriptions to the Carroll Chapter of the DAR which typed them for the DAR Library in Washington, D.C. and various libraries. The second reading was done around 1978 by Robert Hanson and published as part of the Elizabeth Township cemeteries. The following inscriptions are from Mr. Hanson's publication. If Mr. Johnson had a different reading, these are shown in braces, i.e., { }. This is proof that you should verify any readings of tombstone inscriptions.
