In 1848, the cemetery was established upon the first recorded meeting in the new Emmanuel Episcopal Church basement when the vestry voted to buy a burying ground "for not more then $100". In 1852, Walter Treadwell deeded a piece of property "in quantity two roods" (1/2 acre) in trust to the Emmanuel Episcopal Church for the exact price of $100.00. Walter Treadwell's deed specified that he, Hanford Nichols and Reverend Tomlinson would be in charge of laying out the land into lots, and selling them to members of the church and "inhabitants of the vicinity".

The Nichols family and the Treadwell family shared the front lots. If facing the cemetery with the church at your back, Hanford Nichols' Family Plot is located on the right and Walter Treadwell's Family Plot is located on the left.
