When Aaron Hurd's wife Anna died in 1831, the family buried her on their own property in Lot 17 in the 5th Concession, now section A of the Pine Grove Cemetery. He then made the property available for burials for others in the community. By 1860 over fifty burials had taken place on his property.
In 1862, the community realized the need for an official cemetery. They created a company with members required to purchase shares at $5.00 each. Twenty-five people bought shares but 17 of those bought five shares each. The $535 raised enabled them to buy, from Hurd, an eight-acre parcel containing all of the burial sites and spend $300 to have the cemetery fenced.
At their first meeting the board also decided to name it the Ontario Pine Grove Cemetery, but today it is more familiarly known simply as Pine Grove Cemetery.
At that inaugural Board meeting in 1862, Francis Smith was selected as the caretaker and gravedigger and the cost of a burial plot was set at $5.00.
