ANGEL CEMETERY
aka
SILCOX CEMETERY
NW 1/4 NW 1/4, Section 23, Twp. 16N, R. 11W,
Morgan County, Illinois
Only a few fallen tombstones remain at the site of this abandoned rural cemetery midway between Concord and Arcadia.
It is located in the extreme northwest corner of Section 23 in Township 16 N Range 11 W. On page 121 of "Atlas Map of
Morgan County, Illinois, 1872" the burial site is marked by a cemetery symbol. When "Plat Book of Morgan County,
Illinois, 1894" was published the cemetery's site was not indicated. Angel Cemetery is slightly less than a mile northwest
of abandoned Smith Cemetery, also located in Section 23. The tombstone readings listed here were made March 1, 1977
by Byron E. Gish of Rural Route One, Beardstown.
