A cemetery association was formed with representatives from Johnstown, Milliken, Elwell, the sugar factory, and the Johnstown Home and Garden Club. Mrs. Lena Kibbey was the president. Trees were planted, water pipes were installed, irrigation ditches were put into use. The women of the Garden Club spent a day raking and had the men haul away the weeds before Memorial Day. As the congregation grew, people felt the Town of Johnstown should sponsor and manage the cemetery. Avote was taken and the Town of Johnstown did take over the cemetery on April 1, 1957. The name was changed from the Elwell Cemetery to the Johnstown Cemetery. A perpetual care plan was provided and grass was planted with the Town of Johnstown furnishing the labor.
