"Old Cem" once contained about 4,000 graves. At least one still remains, that of William Hackman, in the far southeast corner. It is a reminder, in the words of a memorial tablet erected by the Elgin Area Historical Society, that "Their Worldly Tasks Completed, Elgin's Pioneers Were Laid to Rest In This Hallowed Ground".
Thanks for the link Laura.
