NELLISTON The Village of Nelliston, Town of Palatine and area residents have successfully collaborated in cleaning up the previously overgrown and largely forgotten Nelliston Cemetery, inactive since the 1930s.
After being named Village Clerk, Eddie Watt learned about the existence of the Nelliston Cemetery, tucked away on a hillside in a tree-enclosed space off Stone Arabia Street.
