Channing Street Cemetery |
Unknown | Unknown | Elgin Township Section 13 Formerly located in Elgin on the SE corner of DuPage and Channing Streets. This was formerly the cemetery for the city of Elgin. Commencing in 1889, the premises went through a series of upheavals as movements to make the Bluff City Cemetery (in Cook County) the cemetery for the city took shape and went into action. That year the land for Bluff City was purchased. Shortly afterwards lot owners were contacted and told that they were to have their family remains moved out of Channing, yet new interments continued there until about 1906 when they were terminated completely. By about 1910 the cemetery had deteriorated into a weed-infested field, and many of the stones had fallen to the ground and were barely visible. In 1920 the monument commemorating those who served during the wars was removed to Bluff City. The Armistice Day services were switched to Bluff City, and the fate of Channing was sealed. Construction equipment had been moved in to re-landscape the area in 1915 well before the bodies had been completely removed (they were moved out of Channing as late as 1947). We know that many bodies were left to be moved from their places by the bulldozers. Elgin residents who were children then living in the neighborhood testify to seeing the heavy equipment break up the old boxes scattering the remains everywhere. The remains were evidenced by the children playing on the mounds of dirt. Those interments which were removed were mostly taken to Bluff Street Cemetery, and lesser numbers to Mt. Hope Cemetery, and a very few to Lakewood Memorial Park. The Channing Grade School now occupies the former cemetery site on its NW corner. To the east are tennis courts and a ball diamond cut out of the hills. There are a few broken stones, monument supports, and stone supports in evidence. Also there are areas where mounds and depressions exist which resemble old gravesites. Two stones remain around the perimeters of the old site. In the SE corner there is a single stone surrounded by four black metal posts and only the date (28 Feb. 1895 age 28) is readable. Another stone marked only "Darling Billie" also exists. It is said that a house in the neighborhood has a patio made up of discarded stones from Channing. |

The grave had been marked only by a field stone, and the farmer who owned the property where the grave was located used to plow around it. In the 1950's a man from the Northwest visited the area looking for the grave and failed to locate it because he didn't find a person who knew where it was. |
