Grimes Family Cemetery Near Cambria, Illinois

Does anyone have any information to share on the old Grimes' Family Cemetery at the corner of Vermont and Meridian Roads near Cambria in Williamson County? It is right at the county line and next to Jackson County. It was originally a family plot for the Grimes Family but later became a kind of community cemetery. I believe that there was a young miner named Samuel Noah Sanson and someone named ? Guthrie buried there, too. They were all moved to another cemetery when a coal company bought that property in 1948. Does anyone have any record of others buried there?

The property was owned by Francis Marion Grimes and his wife, Adelia V. Barham Grimes and then passed on to his son, Cephas M. Grimes and his wife Nancy Anna Chadoins/Shadowens Nelson Grimes. The last Grimes Family members lived there on that property about 1910 or so.
