FIRST BURIAL:  1896 - William Erastus Mecham
LAST BURIAL:
BURIALS: approximately 125 identified

 

In the early days of Park Valley, there were a few scattered graves. It was common at that time to bury a family member on his land. The community would rally around, with Erastus Carter and William Carter making many caskets, and Martha Burton and Jane Rose sewing burial clothes and lining the caskets.

The first community cemetery was located just north of the current public school. Digging was very hard at that site and there was trouble with water, so it was decided to establish a new cemetery at it's current location.
