Hope Cemetery
Hope Cemetery is located on West Main Street in Galesburg.
"Galesburg, with its characteristic humanity and refinement, has provided an attractive resting-place for the departed. Hope Cemetery Association was organized Oct. 26, 1858. It is located toward the west end of the town, and has natural attractive advantages. It is well laid out and ornamented with beautiful shrubs and shade trees, and the grounds are well kept. There are some elegant monuments in the cemetery, which mark the resting-place of some of Galesburg's most distinguished citizens and pioneers. This cemetery is a good index to the character of the people. No better evidence can be presented of the culture, refinement and humanity of a people than that presented in a well-laid-out, appropriately ornamented and well-kept cemetery. Present officers: Geo. Ekins, President; S. Fletcher, Vice-President; L. T. Stone, Secretary and Treasurer; Trustees, A. A. Matteson, W. W. Washburn and C. A. Webster."
