Many volunteers take time to drive out to the cemeteries and read the stones. The information is presented as sent. If you know of anyone buried in a Macon County cemetery, please send me an email, and I will add the info. Photos are always welcome. A big THANK YOU to all who help this project grow.
Edwin Philbrook is buried at Greenwood Cemetery (Block #1), Decatur, Macon Co., Illinois. There are actually two stones, one large one he shares with his wife, Ellen Cleveland Philbrook; and then his military gravestone listing 5th USCT. Edwin also had 2 brothers who served in the Civil War, Albert who died at Andersonville and was a Sgt. in the 14th IL Cavalry and Flavious J. Philbrook who was a private in the 115th IL Infantry.
