History of Brooksville Cemetery, formerly known as Borders Cemetery Source---Macon Beacon Newspaper, Oct 5, 1934, page 2 Prior to 1890, there was no Cemetery for the town of Brooksville. Mrs. M. E. Borders generously donated and deeded a plot of land to a group of town residents who formed the Borders Cemetery Association and acted as trustees. In September of 1934, the Association was reorganized, as many of the trustees had passed away or moved from the area. The new Association was made up of mostly women. The reorganization of the Cemetery Association renamed the Cemetery the Borders and Brooksville Cemetery. In the years since, the Borders name has been lost to time, and the Cemetery is currently known as the Brooksville Cemetery.
