Good question. It was a little open semi wooded area when the pioneers settled the area in the 1830s. The village was started and most of the homes built a half mile further north of the cemetery area. By the 1840 many locals had been buried there. It was converted to a park in 1884 with many of the graves remaining in the stones just laid flat upon them and covered up with Earth. I did a video about that earlier it. It would be great if you took a look at that video. Thanks for watching. 🤠
How would we know if the entire area were a cemetery, years before any building here? The Pioneer cemetery may have been the most recent.
