Walliker Cemetery is located in Section 8 of Princeville Township.
Notes and pictures by Steve Slaughter: Investigated this cemetery on Saturday, October 9, 2004. Sadly, this remote private cemetery is on private land and is classed as: Despoiled beyond repair. I spoke with the land owner, Mr. Eilers, for a little over an hour. This was originally a family grave grouping of JACOB WALLIKER. Unfortunately, of the 3 graves, we found 3 bases & 2 rectangle stones. The stone of JACOB WALLIKER was readable only because when it fell, the inscription was face down. The 2nd stone was totally unreadable - even when a rubbing was attempted. The stones are limestone.
Note from Janine Crandell: On another face of the same stone with Jacob Walliker is:
Frederick, son of Jacob and Anna Walliker, April 21, 1837 - Sep. 1, 1862 Age 25 yr 4 mo 10 da.
