The information below was contributed by Baxter B. Fite III (#47203738):
Records in the office of the Peoria County Recorder show that a tract of land in the southern part of the City was acquired July 29, 1836 as a government grant by Aquila Moffatt and was later known as Moffatt's addition. A small part of this ground was set side by the owner as a burial place for himself and his family. The earliest date shown on tombstone on this site is E. D. Derby, Died August 22, 1849, and, Ellen Blown, Died September 3, 1853. Another marks the grave of Mary E., wife of A. W. Moffatt, who died at age thirty-seven, 1866. Other Moffatts buried there include Philander, Damaris, Merwin, Luella, Lucretia, M. E., and Mrs. M. T. Moffatt. The latter was the first interment recorded by James Bennett, which was July 28, 1873.
