RUSHING CEMETERY, OZARK, ILLINOIS

This cemetery is located about a mile east of Ozark, Illinois. It formerly was a community church cemetery but the church no longer remains. The cemetery is well maintained. This cemetery was recorded on October 11, 1997, in the early morming hours before the annual Rushing family reunion. About 10 markers appear featureless in morning light because the inscriptions are unusually shallow. Some of these markers can be read late in the afternoon, as I recorded two of then when making notes on Rushing family surname markers in 1994. The markers are not eroded and the inscription could be read easily if a charcoal rubbing is done. These markers are old enough to have been recorded in the previous survey of the cemetery.

Georgia Maxwell Cox surveyed the cemetery circa 1964. Her record was printed as a pamphlet titled "Rushing Cemetery & Little Flock Church 1850-1964." Ms. Cox had extensive knowledge of the cemetery and the people buried in it. Her record often expands names and provided relationship information not listed on the markers themselves. This additional information is included in notes below. Ms. Cox recorded the cemetery as numbered rows and noted the presence of "creek rocks." As with most cemeteries more than a century old which are still in use in this age of power mowers, most fieldstones or "creek rocks" have since been removed and only a few in the oldest Rushing family area remain.
