Grafton Cemetery Located in Jackson Township on Old Troy Pike, two miles north of Thackery on the south borderline of Section 3, Jackson Twp, (SE of St Paris) on about one acre of ground. The first burial is unknown due to the fact that many of the old markers have gone to pieces. However, old persons acquainted with the cemetery state that they remember markers dating back as early as 1814. The cemetery is in excellent condition and several new burials are made every year. It is one of the few private community cemeteries of Champaign County that still remains active.
