Editor’s note: Contact Stephanie Vavra (815-772-3144) for instructions to locate the last available Mathew plot.
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. Three burial spaces were used to inter his father, mother, and sister. They lie side-by-side in plots East 1, 2, and 3, starting from the road and moving north, along the east side of the family marker.
Plot East 4 is the final one for sale to an individual, who will lie north of the Mathew family members. It is identified by a sprig of red and yellow artificial leaves.
Wanda Mathew offers this remaining resting place for sale at $700. That is the price her husband paid decades ago and the same cost charged by the City of Morrison today.
An interested person should contact the seller at 912-536-0315, or write Wanda Mathew, 420 Franklin Road, Statesboro, GA 30458.
