Silent Home Cemetery, Warren County, IL

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.

December 18, 2004---added tombstone pictures with references to information on the tombstone.

February 16, 2007 Tombstone photos and cemetery listings for this cemetery have been divided for easier viewing. Not all known persons are on list but it is one of the best & most accurate lists to be found for this cemetery. Been made by little ole me, Foxie, my daughter Kate, and Jorden, my great nephew with the help of a few other people in during research for them. Some people buried here have no tombstones what so ever to mark their graves.

Had to make the listings into two pages. Link to second page of listings is at the bottom of the page.

Email me if you think this is so in your family. There is a complete original book to this cemetery still in existence today.
