The Keath Cemetery as it appears in June 2008 after all the old Pine and Cedar trees and flowers have been removed. The cutting of the trees may have been done as a result of 2 tornado's that hit this area in the last couple years, as well as at least 2 severe ice storms in 2007 & 2008 which broke the branches off of many of the large old trees. There used to be at least 8 to 10 Cedar pines that had to be well over 100 years old that provided shade in this cemetery, now it is as wide open as the corn and bean fields that surround it.

Keath Cemetery Entrance Sign at Marcelline, in Adams County, Illinois:

This photo of the Keath Pioneer Cemetery's hand carved sign over the entrance was taken in 2003, this sign has since disappeared and has not been replaced. Also, as of 2005 due to several Ice Storms and Tornados that have swept through this area of Adams County, all of the old Cedar Trees that once graced the entrance to this cemetery have since been removed...
