The old cemetery "was the final resting place for the pioneers of this end of town, and it was here that the Perkins, the Begoles, the Karachers and their neighbors came ‘with dirges due in sad array' to entomb the mortal remains of their beloved dead. Soon after the Messrs. Hess planned the village, a cemetery association was formed, of which James G. Bennett was secretary, and which, in 1858, purchased of William Rosenkrans what is now the central part of the present cemetery. Many citizens at once removed the remains of their dead from the old cemetery to lots in this new one, and in 1870 a bill was passed by the legislature that provided for the removal of those that remained. The southern portion was added to the cemetery by John Hess and a few years ago, Warren Frazer purchased lands from the Rosenkrans farm which he added to the north side."
