Collection: Elmwood Cemetery - Sycamore
The Elmwood Cemetery Company was formed in 1865 by local citizens who wanted a special place of honor for loved ones who fought in the Civil War. The citizens formed a board of managers to create a new cemetery in Sycamore. The board purchased 18 acres of farmland from Henry L. Boies.
“We established the Elmwood Cemetery Endowment Fund to provide revenue for ongoing historical and public-facing needs,” said John Boies, president of Ellwood Cemetery Company. “As a 501c13 organization, the Elmwood Cemetery Company wants to provide donors with tax-deductible options for giving. The cemetery is a respected place where loved one’s rest, history and family genealogy are remembered, and guests can walk or gather. We take pride in this community treasure’s upkeep and ongoing restoration.”
Today, the Elwood Cemetery is enclosed by restored iron fencing, and beautiful cast-iron gates mark the entrance. The cemetery gates belong to the National Register of Historic Places. In additi
