This project is for those who are buried in Oswego Cemetery, Oswego, Kendall County, Illinois.
The cemetery is located on Main Street, near the intersection of Routes 25 & 71 and is also called Oswego Township Cemetery.
The cemetery was originally owned by J.B. Judson. Judson sold the first lot in the cemetery to Amos Holt for $3.00. First plot was sold in 1855. Judson continued as owner well into the 1870's. The grounds are located on the East side of the Fox River, above the railroad tracks and extending to Main Street. The cemetery is divided into three sections: Section A is the south end (towards Yorkville, IL), Section B is the middle, and Section C is the newest section added in 1877 and is the section closest to Oswego. The Cemetery is owned and operated by the Oswego Cemetery Association.
Many of the original cards are on a 16mm microfilm maintained by the Oswego Library, located on Main Street, Oswego, Illinois.
