ST MICHAEL'S CEMETERY - EST 1840sEast Galena Township, Jo Daviess County, Illinois
St. Michael's Cemetery is located on Hwy 20 a short distance east of the Galena River bridge. It was established in the 1840s. This cemetery serviced the members of St. Michael's Church. St. Michael's Church was the preferred church of the Irish population in early Galena. The records were destroyed in a a fire in the early 1920s so unless there was a readable stone, some records are gone. It is also rumored that there are possibly three layers of burials in some sections.
