The largest cemetery in the county [Edgar County, Illinois], of course, is Edgar Cemetery in Paris. The cemetery officially got its start when a committee was formed to purchase property for a new graveyard. In 1858 twelve acres in the northeast part of Paris were purchased. Leander Munsell served as chairman of the Edgar Cemetery Association. In December of that year, Jonathan Young donated two acres of land south and adjacent to the cemetery, keeping forty square feet for his family’s use. By 1884, plans for building a vault on the east side of “the hill” were being considered. That hill is believed to be the highest point in Edgar County. In 1903 the city council ordered, because of neglect, the removal of bodies from the Presbyterian Cemetery which was located where the now vacated Vance School stands (at the northwest corner of Main and Blackburn Streets). A second removal to Edgar Cemetery was the Shaw Cemetery which was once on Crawford Street, where the Shaw home is located just east of the old Paris Hospital (at the southeast corner of Crawford and Shaw Streets). And the third is the Mayo Cemetery which was located near the intersection of Milton and Wilcox Streets. Approximately 10,500 graves dot the hills of Edgar Cemetery. Other cemeteries, of course, are located in Paris Township. Two are fairly large – St. Mary’s contains over 1,500 graves, and the Memorial Gardens almost 1,000.

The Pinson Cemetery, a burial spot for Aaron Pinson, a Revolutionary War soldier, is now covered by the third lake.
