In August of 1887, a group of men met to organize a cemetery association. Records of the cemetery association can be found in Volume A, Miscellaneous, page 236, in the Register of Deeds' Office in Lancaster, Wisconsin. Wm. B. Richards, Thomas Hymer, T.B. Ennor, H.B. Coons, Alonzo Cardy, J.H. Cardy, Alfonso. Cardy, James Alderson, Alfred Thomas, Wm. Langstaff, Noah Gammon, and Samuel Penglase, and others met to organize the group. The records were copied in June 1975 by members of the Grant County Genealogy Association. The records were updated in 2020. Attached is a list of people assumed buried in the cemetery, but no stone was located for them. Either their stone is covered with dirt and grass, illegible, or no stone was placed at the burial site. Sections A – K: The oldest part of the cemetery lies in the middle of the cemetery surrounded by the cemetery road on all sides and the part of the cemetery that lies on the east side of the road as you enter the cemetery. This area of the cemetery is divided into alphabetical sections beginning with Section A and ending with Section K. Section A begins on the south side of the North Road, just down from the West Road, and continues east down the hill. They are not of equal size as attempts were made to keep family groups together. Blocks 1 – 14: Both sides of the West Road are divided into numbered blocks beginning with Block 1 and ending with Block 14. Block 1 begins at the south end of the cemetery on the east side of the West Road where it connects with the South Road, and goes north all the way to the North Road. Then across the road to the west side of the West Road and heads back to the south ending with Block 14. Fence Row: The back row of the western part of the cemetery along the fence is copied from south to north, beginning at the south fence and ending at the North Road. This row of stones is not included in the blocked sections. Blocks 15 and 16: This is the first three rows (copied from south to north) that are above the North Road, starting with the row along the fence. All of the above areas of the cemetery are listed in the Alphabetical List and are indexed by page on that list. Newest Part of Cemetery: The newest section of the cemetery begins at the fourth row from the west fence and is copied from south to north beginning from the road heading north toward the northern fence line. These are numbered rows and are in block style on the Locations List.
