Catherine
The only one buried in Kilmun is the following:
8.8 JOHN KELLY Postman born at Glen Striven in the parish of Inverchiolin 21st February 1880 died 4th September 1904 also his father SAMUEL KELLY died 29th April 1908 aged 60 years A few short hours of rain he bore, we little thought death was at our door, It was Gods will, it should be so. By his command we all must go. Also his mother JANET SMITH died 13th Jan 1941 aged 92 years also his sister CHRISTINE SHANKS KELLY died 24th Nov 1952 aged 78 years Erected by a few friends in the district
Hope that helps. Argyll Mausoleum is trying to gather information on people in the graveyard if you are interested in adding to it if this is your family.

There is one mention of Agness McPhunn in the Kilmun graveyard. Does anyone know how she is related to the McPhunns of Strachur.
Here lyes the remains of AGNESS McPHUNN dawghter to Robart McPhunn farmor in Inshnruisk She died 30th May 1786 aged 18 years and 6 months. Snatched in her youth how swift our comfort is Here the fond hopes of mournful parents lie
Inshruisk is teh old name for Benmore.
Thanks

A group of local people are working on the Kilmun graveyard, updating/amending the old inscriptions, recording the newer gravestones and photographing all the stones. We also want to try and relate groups of stones and tie up families that are buried in the graveyard with the censuses and other information to produce a short precis of them. Others are visiting each house to get a history of the building and the people that lived there.
This is being done under the auspices of Argyll Mausoleum Ltd see www.argyllmausoleum.org.
If anyone is prepared to share a short history of people who lived or died in Kilmun it would stop us duplicating and would be gratefully received and acknowledged. And of course anything else on Kilmun that might be of interest.
I am of course also happy to help with anyone else's research if possible.
Being new to Roots Chat I hope this is an appropriate posting.
