On March 1, 1887, William Bell Livingston and his wife Mary conveyed, by warranty trust deed, two and one-half acres to the Buckeye Cemetery Association for $1.00. This land was part of the Livingston's original farm, homesteaded in 1872. The cemetery has since been expanded to 6.6 acres.
This is a pioneer cemetery, located in one of the first areas of the county to be settled. Many of the original settlers were either buried here or reburied here after the cemetery was started. No record of persons interred were kept before 1908 but W. L Reed, a later sexton, collected the names dates of earlier burials until only approximately two are left Unknown. Someone, perhaps the same sexton, marked many of the otherwise unmarked graves with plain concrete blocks. Most blocks still remain, although now grass-covered.
This cemetery is still owned by the Buckeye Cemetery Association, still in use and is kept neatly fenced and mowed.
