Summary

Join Hebron cemetery expert Dawn Milarski as she takes you on a walking tour of the Linn-Hebron Cemetery 2 miles west of Hebron. Set high on a hill, the cemetery was in use as early as 1846, is still active, and has room for expansion. There are notable residents buried at the Linn Hebron Cemetery, including Revolutionary War Soldier Major Watson and WW II Soldier Elmer Bigelow. It is also the resting place of Samuel John Mills Nichols, the wealthiest farmer in the Linn and Hebron area. His land is most noted as 'Nichols Point," now known as the famous "Black Point."
