Needmore Cemetery, known historically as Mathis Cemetery, is a rural African American burying ground located just north of Lenox in Cook County. It should not be confused with a separate, unrelated Mathis Cemetery west of Cecil in the southern part of the county. The grounds were documented in a formal survey of Cook County cemeteries and lie down a dirt track that circles behind an open field off the Darden Road, near the Southern Railroad crossing.
