Surnames: Garner, Hornback Classification: Cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kg.2ADI/667.1.1 Message Board Post: I am not related to the Garner family - just posted the Garner information to help someone researching that family, but I did check my cemetery book and found this: Cemetery Records of Pike Co. IL, Vol VI, "Hornback Cemetery", p6 - Jonathan Garner d. 21 Mar 1859 (77-0-14) Mary Garner (wife) d. 20 Oct. 1859 (67-0-7) "The Hornback Cemetery is 1 1/2 miles southwest of ElDara in section 20, Derry Twp. It is one of the oldest in the county and was abandoned before 1939. It was named for James Hopeful Hornback, the first one to be buried there. His death was the first white death in the twp. This was the 17th of March 1832. There are many references to this cemetery (and the poeple buried there) in Jesse M. Thompson History of Pike County." ___
