Bolingbrook, Sec 4, DuPage Twp

In 1832 Harry Boardman established the Boardman Cemetery as a community burying ground in DuPage Township. He sold the land in 1846 to Robert Strong, Samuel Whallon, and Isaic Scarret who deeded the cemetery plot on April 22, 1846, to the County of Will. In the early 1970s the deed for Boardman Cemetery was discovered in the recorder's office. In 1972 or 1973, Will County deeded the one acre cemetery plot to DuPage Township.
