Galum Presbyterian Cemetery, Perry County, Illinois

Galum Presbyterian Church and Cemetery is one of the older churches and cemeteries of the county, with graves of some of the earliest settlers from the Denmark and Pinckneyville area.

There are three sections to the cemetery; the oldest sections being the South West and the North West, located on either side of the church, with the newest section being the East.
