Hinkle Cemetery

 

Hinkle Cemetery is located in Section 21 of Timber Township.

From the City of Peoria, take US Route 24 thru Bartonville, past the cut-off to Pekin (Tazewell County), through Mapleton & Kingston Mines. Approx 1.0 to 1.3 miles from Kingston Mines, turn right onto Glasford Road (County Route 33). Drive 1.6 miles into the town of Glasford. Drive out Main St. out of town (left). Road turns to gravel. From the time you leave the paved road & turn onto the gravel road, go about 1/4 mile. Look to your right. Cemetery rests IN THE TREES AT THE TOP OF THE HILL....Steve Slaughter

 

Small cemetery in a grove of trees near a creek. Grazing is allowed.
