Siloam Church Cemetery

Siloam Church Cemetery is loacted just off Boydsville Rd. in Weakley County, TN.

I used the descriptions listed in the Weakley County Cemeteries Book Volume 1 to better make out what the headstones had on them. I have put each name and date by each picture. Some stones were very weathered and hard to read. There was one stone lying face down…so I don't have any idea who it was.

A view of how the cemetery looks.

 

Another view…the two stone on front are McClains.
