context_page_description: Woodburn is an unincorporated community in Bunker Hill Township, Macoupin County, Illinois, United States.
context_section_description: Containing the graves of many of the founding citizens of Woodburn, the Wood Cemetery about two miles south of town goes back to at least 1823.  While several of the founding families are represented here, of particular note are the graves of two of the seven Wood brothers - James and Abraham - and their wives.  Also here are the graves of four of James' sons - John, Samuel, Thomas, and James - and their wives.
  Organized in 1866, the Woodburn Cemetery on the outskirts of the town includes the small burial ground originally used by the Rider family (now in the northwest corner of the cemetery).  Half of the land for the cemetery was purchased by the village; the other half was donated by Mr. Huggins.  The oldest grave dates to 1844.  Many soldiers are buried here.  One notable grave is that of Jonathan Lucas Wood, nephew of the Wood brothers who founded the town.
