Silent Home Cemetery Memorial Day Celebration

May 26, 2019

Silent Home Cemetery in Warren County’s Floyd Township, Illinois, will hold its annual Memorial Day Celebration on May 26.  Established in 1860 by Royal Wiswell, it has in the last century and a half become the final resting place for veterans of the nation’s wars.

Each Memorial Day, friends and relatives of the individuals buried in Silent Home gather for a commemorative service with an honor guard and a guest speaker to mark this occasion.  This year, Jeff Rankin, historian of Monmouth College, will be the speaker.

The Memorial Day service is free and open to the public.
