OLD WESTVILLE

NAME: Old Westville COUNTY: Vermilion ROADS: 4WD GRID: 6 CLIMATE: Moderate Snow, Humid Summer BEST TIME TO VISIT: Anytime, walking may be necessary 1/2 mile

COMMENTS: "Old Westville" is located 10 miles south of Interstate 74 and about 10 miles west of the Indiana border. It is located about a 1/2 mile outside of the modern town of Westville. A natural spring is located near the cemetery. Dates on tombstones date back to early 1800's. REMAINS: A cemetery

There is not much known about the cemetery. It is forgotten about and unkept. It is apparent however, the modern town of Westville is a product of this earlier settlement. Another note: The cemetery is located in a heavily wooded area outside of town. The tombstones as I said date as far back as 1820 and as late as 1858. I have pictures just not a scanner.
