This cemetery was laid out in the Fall of 1870.
George Vinnedge, Perry Wright, and Abner Jackson were the
trustees at that time. They purchased an addition to the old yard,
which had been in existence for fifty years, Making in all one of twelve
and a quarter acres. Frederick Wicke, Jacob Francis, and
James Patchell, Jr., are the present board of officers. J.
W. Gerard, the sexton, has been in charge of these grounds since
1871. The yard was formerly in a bad condition, owning to so much
brush and undergrowth, but considerable attention has been paid to the
grounds and walks of late, and it now presents as fine an appearance as
any in the country outside of the large cities. Three hundred
persons have been buried in this yard, and an average of thirty deaths
happens every year. The ground is divided off into sections, four
in number, and these again subdivided into lots, of which there are in
all six hundred. A good fence incloses the cemetery, and on the
inside evergreen trees adorn the grounds and shade the drivers, giving
the whole a handsome appearance.
