It is a little south of Cairo in an area commonly referred to as Silver Run. The cemetery is commonly know as the Silver Run cemetery.

The church was established when the first group of Irish escaping the potato famine arrived in Ritchie County. Sadly, the church has fallen to ruin and the cemetery is a little overgrown. There are no burials recorded there later than 1922.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
