The Auburn Cemetery is in Clark Center, Auburn Township. Clark Center is often, inaccurately, referred to as "Auburn" by locals, particularly old timers. But there is another Illinois town (in Sangamon County) that has the official name of Auburn.
One local told me the church does not have services any more, but does have Sunday School. He said that two locals keep the church alive and oversee the Sunday School
The web site for the village says services do take place, but I could not find out a time.
