Your donations help restore more than monuments. A few years ago, the Springdale Historic Preservation Foundation noticed the steps leading to the burial plot of Adam Lucas were in serious disrepair. Lucas was a German immigrant who founded what today is the oldest manufacturing business in Peoria, A. Lucas & Sons.
The Foundation approached A. Lucas & Sons’ president, Margaret Hanley, and she generously donated the funds for repair and replacement. Stop by the gravesite in the Oak Ridge South section to see these beautifully restored steps!

Paula, have you seen this new site? Great shots of the cemetery <3
Nice Laura!!
Want to establish a permanent memorial for your family at
Springdale? Build a private mausoleum. Or create a family site
or estate with multiple burial plots—a large marker identifies
the site and family name, with smaller headstones at each
grave. Contact our office at (309) 681-1400 for more details.
