This is at the entrance gate into the Lindsay Cemetery. It was know as Olive Cemetery for the 1st eleven years.
On 20 January 1909 the 1st interment in Olive Cemetery occurred. Originally it was owned by the Olive Land Company. In 1930 the people voted this cemetery into the Lindsay-Strathmore District as a Public Cemetery District. At this time Tulare County had divided the entire county into cemetery districts but private cemeteries, within each district, continue to remain under their own jurisdiction. As of 1930, over 80 years ago, this cemetery changed its name to Lindsay Cemetery and this "old Olive Cemetery", or Lindsay Cemetery , is now governed by the Tulare County Board of Supervisor and operated by an election Board.
This Cemetery only had the name of Olive Cemetery for eleven years. Locals have and continue to refer to this Cemetery as the Lindsay Cemetery after 80 years. Most people do not know this cemetery as the Old Olive Cemetery. A couple of the mortuaries will refer to this cemetery as Olive Cemetery for reason unknown.
At present the Lindsay-Strathmore District governs 2 cemeteries within the Lindsay-Strathmore Cemetery District. Lindsay Cemetery and Frazier Valley Cemetery Several small private cemeteries are also found with this district but not governed by the Lindsay-Strathmore Cemetery District.
