DIGBY CEMETERY

Compiled by Laurie Selpien

Twigg Township
Hamilton County
, IL

Digby Cemetery inscriptions were recorded by Misty Flannigan are in this color.

I have added information to this cemetery is not based on just headstone inscriptions but rather  from other records I have found. As well as the Book Legacy of Kin by Harold G. Felty and the Illinois state data base as a cross reference. My additions are in this color.

Information in orange provided by Sharlene Coontz Meyer

Blue row indicates known war veteran! 

Death Certificate numbers were found in the Illinois Statewide Database http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html
