Harmony Township cemetery

Harmony Township cemetery, Harmony Township, Hancock County, Illinois.

     This cemetery list was made at the cemetery by Mrs. Elmer Kay, R. F. D. No.1, Keokuk, Iowa.  Mrs. Kay is a worker in the Lee County genealogical Society of Iowa.

     This is not a complete list according to Mrs. Kay.  In case further names are ever collected these will be added to the list.

     Harmony townships cemetery is located in Section 15 of the of township.  To get to lift the motorists takes the blacktop east out of the town about a mile and a half.  From this point off to the east of corner the cemetery is about three-quarters of a mile south down road on the east side of the road.

     Is not a fashionable or beautifully landscaped or with lovely natural setting burying ground.  But it is a clean appearing, well ordered, roomy country cemetery.  It is of course small an area as practically all burying places are in Hancock County where there are no large concentrations of population to make real large cemeteries necessary.

    One gets the impression walking around among the stones that people of the area do well by their helpless dead.  Fencing here is adequate for the cemetery; there is not a blade of grass not properly trimmed.  The stones are nice.

     This is the present century cemetery.  Most cemetery's of this county were largely used in the 1800's century and are not practically abandoned today as far as the use goes.  Not so here.  The death dates here indicates as much if not more burials in our day than in past generations.

     The names here pretty well covered the families who have built up this Ridge section of farm country southeast of Carthage.  These data are enjoying well earned a rest here and they may well be proud of that fine heritage they have handed down to the living.

     The following is a history of this Cemetery prepared by Chellis Cofffman and forwarded to Warren L. Van Dine for inclusion here by Miss Harry H. Siegfried, a Denver (in Harmony Township) professional researcher.

"In early times a Elijah O. Hall owned the SW 1/4 Section 15, Harmony Township.  In the northwest corner of the Northwest 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4 Section 15 he permitted neighbors to Bury free of lot cost.  It wasn't plotted and burials were made in an air regular way.  This was called Hall's Cemetery.

In 1883 hall and was gone and Josea Burnett owned the land where the Hall cemetery occupied.  Population increasing fast the need for permanent cemetery became apparent, so on February 3, 1883 A. K. Coffman, Dr. J. A. James, John McCallister, L. F. Symmonds, S A. McCallister and the George James NET and signed an agreement to put up an equal amount of money to buy the Hall cemeter and two acres and 22 rods lying adjoining west of the Hall cemetery.  These men elected 5 men to purchase and set as trustees.  They were Isaac Burner, James Cad Jones, George W. Jones, Wiley Jones, and S.  A .  McAllister.  The above Trustees bought the 2  acres and 22 rods from Josea Burnett for $100 .00 on March 13, 1883.  This included the Hall cemetery land.  This added land was known as the first edition.  The name Hall cemetery was dropped.  The land was plotted and sold to the people as burial places.

All are familiar with the ground of harmony in 1851 now owned by G. W .James and S. A. McCallister.  The harmony cemetery was founded on little knoll on a farm owned by a man named Byron Pennock, who donated the ground which was afterwards used for a burial ground for 15 years.  It was surrounded by timber.  The first grave dug there was for an infant baby who was a twin brother of Joshua Hughett, of Carthage, Illinois, who is 74 years old the sixth day of August.  The father of this child was Robert Hughett.  There is an evergreen tree and now standing on the plot of ground which was planted by a man by the name of Bernard Wengle, who had several children buried there.  A Mrs. Boyd was another early grave, also William Preston.  Mr. Josea Burnett had during the time purchase this farm and he sold the first addition to the cemetery in 1883, and at this time the place was named Harmony and the trustees were appointed.  This was in 1883.  It was organized and Trustees were appointed: Cal Jones, D. Simmons, A. K. Coffman, Samuel McCallister, and Willey Jones.

The next edition was in 1902, which was bought by GW janes.

The present trustees are: Samuel McCallister, H. W. Shoup, S. Hadty and the J.W. Fleming

Now on April 10, 1883 at the advice of A. W. O'Harra, an attorney, Joseph A. James, Andrew Bush and L. F. Symmonds applied to the state of Illinois to have harmony cemetery organized into a corporation.  In their application they named the James Cad Jones, S. A. McCallister, Isaac Burner, George W. Jones, Wiley Jones, to serve the first year as trustees.  Then the trustee would be elected annually.  This was sent to Springfield on April 10, 1883.  On April 11, 1883 the state approved the incorporation and mail back the incorporation papers.  They were recorded at Carthage April 21, 1883.

"The Harmony Cemetery Association" was now a corporation and subject to all state laws.  By 1900 the lots were pretty well taken up and with 3 and 69/100 acres lying adjoining on the south, the trustees voted to buy the second edition.  On September 8, 1902, they received the deed from George W. James and Mary Ann James, his wife for 3 and 69/100 acres just south of the original cemetery, paying $221.41 Total for the land.  This is known as the second edition to the "Harmony Cemetery Association".

In 1933 the township was by a vote of the people took over the upkeep and management of all cemeteries in the township.  The Trustees constitute the board.  One member is elected each year.  Deeded to town of Harmony in May 1933. "

The last paragraph would be understood to mean Township where town of harmony is used. The trustees would be understood to mean a board of elected Trustees put an office at the Township election.
