Oakdale Cemetery was originally land belonging to the Ferry and Starr families; The first burial was Evelyn Ferry in 1847 on property of Enos Ferry; In August, 1849, plots from the two families were combined and trustees named to manage the cemetery. A cemetery association, called the Oakdale Cemetery Society, was created in 1897 with a constitution and bylaws. "a small group of dedicated people, some of whose ancestors have been buried there for a hundred years, manage the cemetery". An index of lots was compiled & published by the Zion Genealogical Society in 1985, including a plat of lots, and a list of 12 Civil War veterans buried there.
