Fuller Cemetery

Fuller Cemetery

Fuller Cemetery is located in Henderson Township in the southeast quarter of Section 6. If you are in Galesburg and going west on Main Street, turn right on Henderson Road (Route 150) going north. Once out of town, turn left on 2250N which turns into Moshier Hill Road. As you're going northwest on this road, you will see a sign for the cemetery on the right. You will have to walk through two pastures to get to the actual cemetery. The well-kept cemetery overlooking a beautiful valley was established in 1836 on the original property of Samuel and Jane Brown who settled there in April 1834.
