Route 66 Medal of Honor Graves

I came across a site that showed the graves of all Medal of Honor recipients who are buried in the state of Illinois.

These are Civil War veterans who are buried in towns along Route 66 in the state, not including Chicago. I'm working on it, but either the computer or site has just about stopped.


ELBURN

Theodore Hyatt at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.


DWIGHT

Henry Fox at Oaklawn Cemetery.


CHENOA

Edward Pike at the Chenoa Cemetery.


COLLINSVILLE

Ninevah McKeon at Glenwood Cemetery.

I'm hoping the Route 66 Association of Illinois spotlights these graves during their Motor Tours at least once in the next four years, the 150th anniversary of the war.
