MERIDIAN CEMETERY
The Meridian Cemetery is located in the northwest quarter of Section 3 in Berwick Twp. about two and a half miles east of Berwick, IL. The cemetery is at the site of the old Meridian Christian Church, which was one of the early church organizations in Warren County, IL. It is on land deeded to the church by a Meadows family member in 1868 and then to the Meridian Cemetery Association in 1919. The church disorganized many years ago and the church buildings are no longer there. A large boulder at the entrance to the cemetery has an attached plaque engraved with a cross and an inscription reading "Site First Meridian Christian Church Given by Henry Meadows "Built by Pioneers 1829". The cemetery is approximately two acres in size and has been well maintained
