Nauvoo's "Old" Cemetery (Nauvoo City Cemetery #1) was used by the residents of Nauvoo, Illinois after the departure of the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) in 1846 until about 1948. All subsequent interments were placed at the Nauvoo City Cemetery (#2), about 1/2 mile East of Nauvoo's Old Cemetery. Sexton#: The sexton numbers are a reference to a copy of the sexton records kept from 1848 to 1923, compiled by Mary Logan of Nauvoo.  They can be found on the USGENWEB page for Hancock County, IL. Although there are some discrepancies between the stones and the sexton records, the sexton records provide useful information that is not on the stones.  These references do not suppose to be entirely correct in their matches to the sexton records, but only the best found match to aid in research.  The various entries for this column include:         #-refers to the number in the far right column of the sexton records none found - no match has been found, but the date of death is in the time period of the sexton records so the possibility of a match still exists early - date of death precedes sexton records recent - date of death is after the end of the sexton records NA - sexton number does not apply, ex: family plot stone, footstone, or monument Correlation to sexton numbers and some stone images are from an Eagle Project led by Patrick Walton in 2007.
