History: This cemetery was originally known as the Evangelical Church Graveyard. It began in 1936 when Peter Thornton donated one acre of land for a graveyard. His son, George Thornton, age 12, was the first person buried there. In 1875, an additional acre was purchased from George Gougler. At present there are about 10 acres in this cemetery.
