Siloam Cemetery

The Siloam cemetery is located in Ashley Township, Township 52 North, Range 3 West of the 5th P. M., Section 30, Pike County, MO.

The PLOT ARRANGEMENT of the cemetery is: Starting point northeast corner of cemetery first row of wards running west to west fence hence east in second row to east fence then west again on third row till entire yard is consumed in such manner. The individual grave arrangement in ward is the same starting at north end of each ward and going south to end of ward, thus number 1 grave is in north end of each plot. 

This listing was prepared from grave markers, newspapers, Bible, Family, Church and Census records. All sources available were used to make it as complete as possible.

[The information here] is prepared in remembrance of [the] many ancestors that rest in this cemetery, along with their friends. 

Thanks goes to LaVerne Brunson; Opal (Branstetter) (Ware) McCollum; Mr. and Mrs. Bert Myers; Wayland Wilhoit; Katherine Hummel; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Evans, Estalene Moore and any others that helped supply information to make this listing as complete as possible.

Clarence Farmer, son of Moses A Farmer was buried in this cemetery, but the body was moved to the Farmer cemetery on May 21, 1885---Bowling Green Times.

This information was compiled by copies of what Charles J Moore had researched and other cemetery records. Retyped and updated 2005 by Lori A. Smith.
