Thomas Cemetery, Logan County ILGenWeb

Thomas Cemetery, also known as German Methodist Cemetery, is located in Section 18, Prairie Creek Township, Logan County, Illinois. It sits back in the field off the road. The cemetery began after 1860. The last burial was in 1886.

Please note that the information was gathered from several sources including the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society records and the Decatur Genealogical Society cemetery book. The stones are very old. There may be errors. Verify all information. If there is no photo it is probably one of several stones that were totally unreadable and could not be linked to a person.

Thomas Cemetery was photographed by Al and Carole Martin.

There is one stone that very much appears to say "Earnie" but there is no one with a name that is like that buried there. After checking older records I am without a clue. Click HERE and HERE to view pictures and see what you think.
