Silent Home Cemetery, Floyd Twp, Warren Co., IL |
|
Silent Home Cemetery is really one of the easiest Cemeteries in Warren County, IL, to find. I have been there many, many times taking photos for others, and trying to find the burial places of lost loved ones. One in particular that was hard to find but she was sure they were buried there and they are were the surname of Johnson. They are buried here at the Silent Home but there are no stones for them. The way I go sometimes to the cemetery, out of Galesburg, IL, go on main street straight west out of Galesburg past Farm King and the old drive in movie theater. Keep going till you see the sign that say Cameron. Turn left here. You will be heading south. Go through Cameron under Railroad viaduct and over railroad tracks. When you pass over the last railroad tracks you are in Floyd Twp. Keep going straight on the Road 140 Street, you go a few miles and at the intersection of 140/160th on the East side of the road is where the cemetery is laid out. It pretty well kept mowed and such and there are allot of new graves in this cemetery. Many of the older stones are in very bad shape and some are missing completely. This is only a partial listing of the one buried in the Silent home. Will be adding more later along with pictures of tombstones. But due to other's copying or adding to their files and then using on web pages for their ownership instead of for a family file you will have to email me to get the photos as it is a lot of hard work to do this and I really don't enjoy somebody putting them on their web page and then calling them their own. Thanks and sorry about that. Click on the below link for some more people who are buried in the Silent Home but I haven't gotten them on this page yet.... Silent Home's are listed first.... December 18, 2004---added tombstone pictures with references to information on the tombstone. June 19, 2006 Silent Home Tombstone Photo Gallery, with the Abbott Plot first click here!
