Brimfield Cemetery, Peoria County, IL Index

Gravestone Inscriptions

In the cemetery is my brother Charles Lynn Bridges, his wife Nancy I Tucker Bridges and my Nephew Giles Tucker Bridges. All were buried before 1994.
The plot is under a tree that looks out to a field, The Tucker family has long had property in the Brimfield area, and I do believe it is still being farmed. Their land is crossed by Interstate 74,It is rich in soybeans and corn, I have many fond memories of being at the old homestead in the 50's. The old road to the farm was blocked when 74 went through.
Now you have to get off the interstate just after Brimfield and turn left and go to Tucker road and make a left.
The old house, which was built in the early 1900's was replaced with a modern type farm house in the early 90's.
Thanks for the memories! The farm stead could not be sold, it had to stay in family.
When I was small it was already over a 100 years old, Good luck Stephanie Giles- scr #41

Go home dear friends and cease to weep. I am not dead but here to sleep;
My body still must here remain; Till Christ shall bit it rise again.
