Description
Locust Hill Cemetery, thought to be the soldiers' section. A number of Cluthe and Illing family members are buried at this cemetery, located on Kratzville Rd. Locust Hill Cemetery is a beautiful spot, high on a hill, that at one time was known as Lamasco. This was homestead to a Robert Smith family in 1835. The acreage was later acquired by the Kirkpatrick family. A plot was set aside for a little country cemetery where friends and neighbors of the deceased did the burying. After a few years, the cemetery was deeded to the City of Evansville. (http://historicevansville.com/site.php?id=locusthill)
