Transcription of a Peace Family Cemetery in Siler, Whitley County, Kentucky
I am not related to this family, but wanted to post this.
My husband works a hay field in Siler Kentucky and the new owners of the property recently cleaned up a cemetery there and I have transcribed it the best that I could.
I believe that it is a Peace Family Cemetery from the names on most of the readable headstones. There are many unmarked or unreadable stones and some stones have been moved to lean against trees.
In the middle of the cemetery is a large area surrounded by large blocks of stone, possibly large enough for 2 or 3 graves.
Here is what I could read:
Mother, Rachel Peace, Born Feb 5 1853, Died Jan 24, 1926, inscription "A tender Mother's a Faithful Friend"
Next to her is a stone reading Corpl. Jos. Peace Co. A 49 KY Inf. (no dates)
Jicy Peace was born Sep. 21(?) 1870, died Ap. 12, 1871(?)
J.P. Peace was born Jan 8, 1891, died July 5, 1891
Ellea (could be Ellen) Manerva Peace was born Oct the 29th 1811 and died Oct the 21(?) 1865
S.E. Peace, was born No. 11 1886 and died No. 28 (or 23) 1887
Jemimae Anderson, born Apr 24, 1842, Died Apr 23, 1883 This stone is broken, leaning against a stump (tree may have grown through the grave) and there is a small foot stone nearby with initials J.E.A.
Suse M. Peace (?) was born Aug. 11 (?) 18?? and died Apr ??, 18??
This stone is grown into a tree and I transcribed it the best that I could: In Memory of Nancy Peace, daughter of Thomas (?) L. and ???wiza Peace was born Apr. ?? 1858 and died November 29, 1859.
There is a large stone leaning against the same tree, but it is unreadable.
There is also a stone the reads 1862 J I P O C 25th. I figure this is another Peace, but could not read all of the stone.

Ron,
I have found out that it is called the Old Joseph Peace Sr. Cemetery and is listed in the Whitley County Graveyard Books, but it only had 3 listings. I have taken pictures of some of the headstones and will post them on Find-a-Grave also. When I went back to take pictures, I was able to get a better view of the stones and corrected some birth and death info. There are 10 listings on Find-a-Grave for this Cemetery.

Hello. My mother was a Peace and has many ancestors in the Siler Cemetery. In the early 90's, I spent an afternoon walking through this cemetery with a camera with my mother and two of her sisters. They not only told me about many of the graves, but also identified a number of unmarked graves of infants. I have photos of almost every marker in this cemetery.

This very well could be part of my family. My grandmother grew up in Bryants Store and was a Logan, granddaugher of Johhn Bruce Peace and Surreldy Gatliff. I am not sure but the headstone sounds like it would maybe be my grandfather because he was in the Ky 49th. My grandmother's mom was Jince Peace Logan. I can be contacted at tdfarm@bellsouth.net
