Collection: East Lawn Memorial Gardens - Bloomington
R.L. Beeler of Burlington, Iowa, established East Lawn Memorial Gardens. Beeler purchased a 30-acre tract of land from Fred Young in 1935. At the time, the property was 2 miles east of the Bloomington city limits, just west of the new municipal airport on Illinois Route 9. Beeler employed Henry Oldman as the cemetery manager, and they began to sell cemetery property out of an office at the Peoples Bank Building in Bloomington.
In 1951, the cemetery was sold to Harold and Freda Bathe. Over the years, the Bathes made many improvements. Eventually, the couple opened East Lawn Funeral Home on 1515 E. Empire St. In 1979, Harold sold the funeral home building and constructed a new facility on the grounds of East Lawn Memorial Gardens. At the time, this was an innovative idea and gave families the convenience of planning all of their funeral and cemetery arrangements in one beautiful location.
