Editor’s note: Call Stephanie Vavra (815-772-8718) for simple directions to Lot 24-Block V, West.
Wanda Mathew formerly lived in Morrison, IL, with her husband David Wylie Mathew III. Years ago, David Mathew purchased all 12 spaces in Lot 24-Block V, West, atop the hill at Grove Hill Cemetery. It is anchored in the center with a pink, granite, family stone engraved Mathew on both sides.
David died in 2018; he is not buried here with the family. However, beneath the family stone, a flat slab lists his name and dates of birth and death. Three burial spaces were used to inter his father, mother, and sister. They lie side-by-side in plots East 1, 2, and 3 (on the east side of the family marker.) Three spaces, East 4-through-six, are for sale.
A Morrison resident purchased spaces West 1 and 2 (on the west side of the Mathew stone.) Four spaces, West 3-through-six, are available.
Wanda Mathew resides in Georgia and will not be buried in Morrison. She offers the remaining seven resting places for sale at $700 apiece. That is the same price her husband paid and the same cost charged by the City of Morrison.
Interested persons should contact her at 912-536-0315, or write Wanda Mathew, 306 N. Main Street, Statesboro, GA 30458.
