From the McLean County, Illinois History and Genealogy sire, War of 1812 Soldiers Burial Information.
They have 56 War of 1812 veterans as having been buried in McLean County, including John Funk, who is buried at Funk's Grove. Route 66 folks would be very familiar with that name.
In addition, and the reason I'm doing this, is that I have been writing about Civil War Confederate veteran William B. Stode of Morgan's Raid in 1863, being buried at Scogin Hill Cemetery.
