The Mound Chapel Cemetery board of trustees proudly accepted the newest sign in the cemetery marking project sponsored by the McDonough County Historical Society. This well kempt cemetery at the corner of highways 41 and 95 has grave stones dating back to 1855 when it was a Methodist church cemetery. The land was deeded as a cemetery in 1874. "We are very proud of our rural and family cemetery," said Howard Daniels (left), one of the trustees on the board. George Swartzbaugh (right), president of the board, thanked Jerry Hughes of the McDonough County Highway Department, for putting the sign in the ground. Locie Pensinger is the third member of the board. The Quality of Life Advisory Committee awarded a cost sharing grant to the historical society for the new signs.
