Madison County Historical Society, Vol. 12 no.3, May 2014:
Woodlawn Cemetery was chartered in 1871, with the first burials in 1872. It was established after Edwardsville's Lusk Cemetery fell into disrepair. With the newly –established cemetery, those that could afford it moved the bodies of their loved ones to Woodlawn. As a result, some tombstones in Woodlawn Cemetery pre-date the establishment of the graveyard.
