No stone marks Lizetta's grave at this date, 2021. Sorry, Lizetta has no stone - I am a fourth generation relative and everyone in the family with any knowledge of her, state that a stone was never placed. There is no one left, in the area of Adams County, who would have any desire or ability to place one.
Lizetta was the fourth child and third daughter of Almira (Elmira) Cadwell and Elias Sr. Adams. She was born at the prairie home her father built the year before Quincy Township was settled.
The Adams' farm was located on Section 28, about eleven miles southeast of the future county seat of Quincy.
This land deed was claimed by Elias Adams on his soldier's warrant, Land Warrant No. 17,651, by virtue of his service in the War of 1812. The land patent was issued 1 October, 1818, for his one hundred sixty acres in "the Territory of Illinois".
They had settled here in 1824, divorced in 1836, and when Lizetta died at eleven years old, her's was among the first burials made at the cemetery west of the Adams' farm. She had been accidentally burned in a fire, and was buried by her father and stepmother in the nearby graveyard. It was then named COOK CEMETERY.
According to The Great River Genealogical Society, Cemeteries of Adams County, (Quincy, Illinois, 1987. Vol. 1, Page 111), the earliest stone still standing at that time was from the year 1835.
