Shiloh Cemetery
Historical Marker Text
In 1881 Thomas Armer deeded land in the Shiloh
Community for a Baptist church. He sold an adjacent acre to the church
for this cemetery in 1883, and in later years Armer sold more land to
the church and to Pond Creek School. The community continued to grow,
and by 1908 a larger sanctuary was erected and the cemetery was enlarged
to include the Armer family burial ground. The earliest marked grave in
the family plot is that of Daniel Armer (d. 1882). A tornado damaged the
cemetery and destroyed the sanctuary in 1957, but the structure was
rebuilt.
