Stevenson Cemetery, also known as Ditson Cemetery, is located in North Otter Township, Macoupin County, Illinois. It is about 1/4 mile northwest of the intersection of Greenland & Finney Roads on property owned by the Hannah Family in section 21. The property is listed as an exception in transfer of the deed & is listed as one acre. According to information published by the Macoupin County Genealogical Society, the WPA completed a survey of the cemetery in 1937 and counted 125 graves. Although the cemetery was cleaned up in the 1980s, it is again covered with down trees and limbs and there is a huge pile of trash in the center of the cemetery. March 2007 photographs show the cemetery in terrible shape. There are many stones in the cemetery which are downed and buried, some as much as 6 to 8 inches below the ground. Many possibly remain hidden under a huge brush pile.
