Welcome to Orio Cemetery
This site documents the graves at Orio Cemetery located on the property of Wabash Presbyterian Church west of Allendale, Illinois (Wabash County). The cemetery has about 900 burials and dates from the 1840's. Through this database you will be able to search the graves by several methods.
Much work has been done on the database since it first went on online 24 months ago. All the tombstones have now been photographed. And with Laura Armetta helping with the research, excellent information has been provided for most of the burials.
To explore the site, click on the Grave Search button, then search for a name or a date. Click on a burial's ID to bring up the Grave Record. There's space for additional photos, portraits, or other documents which may be available. Go to the Cemetery Map to see the physical location of the grave.
Your suggestions are welcome, and if you find inaccuracies anywhere in the site, please contact us. And please pass this link on to other people researching this area of Wabash county. Also check out the other three nearby cemeteries documented in the same way: Adams Corner Cemetery, Friendsville Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery (Lukin Twp, Lawrence Co IL).
Orio Cemetery is managed by the Wabash Presbyterian Cemetery Association who conducts the annual Labor Day weekend chowder (Orio Chowder).
