Barham Cemetery The Barham Cemetery comprises a small section of the larger Rose Hill Cemetery in Marion; Williamson County, Illinois, and is located at the crossroads of Highway 37 and 13. Thomas N. Barham donated the land for the Barham Cemetery as a final resting-place for his descendents. Thomas N. Barham was born 14 Feb 1810 in TN and married Elizabeth Perry (b. 29 Jan 1801) on 23 July 1821 in Sumner County TN. His parents were John Barham and Sarah Almira Wilson. Many of his children and their descendents are buried there. Directions to the Barham Cemetery are as follows: From Marion: take Highway 13 to the stop light at Highway 37, turn onto 37 and take the first entrance into Rose Hill Cemetery. Drive down the gravel road until, past the chapel, you come to a large oak tree. The Barham section is to your right and is bordered to the east by railroad tracks and to the west by another small gravel road. From Johnston City: Take 37 toward Marion, Turn left into the Rose Hill Cemetery at the last entrance BEFORE the stoplight. Follow the directions above from that point. From Interstate 57: Take the A Exit for Marion toward the East to Highway 37. Turn Left at the light and take the first entrance into the Rose Hill Cemetery. In an effort to make this as clear as possible for people searching for graves, I have listed the graves by rows, starting at the REAR of the cemetery and going toward a small gravel road that marks its western boundary. The graves are numbered, with the lowest number being closest the main road that curves behind the stone chapel. Should anyone have any questions about the graves or the people who are buried there, I can be contacted at the following addresses.
