The East Paw Paw Cemetery is located in Section 7 Township 37 North Range 3 East. The main entrance to the cemetery
is found on the South side of the Chicago road in the SE SW quarter of Paw Paw township. A gravel road divides the
cemetery in the center allowing for travel the full distance of the cemetery from North to South gaining easier access to the
family burial grounds which are East and West of the driveway.

It is apparent that many burials were interred in this cemetery in the early settlement of the township and later to the west
where the Town of Paw Paw was established. Many of the tombstones could not be read because of the erosion from the
elements.
