Park Cemetery
PARK CEMETERY
The Fairmount Park Cemetery Association was formed April 6, 1889
and the first ground was owned April 11, 1889. It was bought from Ruth
Elliott and James N. Elliott. A sinking fund was created and is maintained
by the sale of lots and by gifts. This fund maintains and protects this 75
or 80 acres as a suitable ground for the burial of the dead. There are at
this time over 3500 persons buried here.
The above information was taken from the abstract of this land. The
records on the following pages are copied by Mrs. Tony Payne from the
records kept by the Association. They contain information asked for at the
time of burial and are not copied from the stones. The information is
correct in all particulars.
The above was written by the DAR in the 1940's.
This is Dec. 1994, and the amount of graves at this cemetery has more
than doubled since then. I have decided to copy this cemetery as it is, just
in case I don't get the chance to read it. The mimeograph copies of the
work of the DAR are in such bad condition, much of the reading, has to be
looked at through a magnifying glass. This is no fault of the DAR, what
they had to use in the 1940's was state of the art back then. Mimeograph
copies were usually blue ink and when copies are made of this work much of
the print is lost. I can remember as a child, making copies with a
mimeograph machine. Then the teachers would make the entire class go over
the sheets and fill in what would be missing or illegible at the time. With
our new computers, and state of the art copiers now, we are able to get much
better work. And hopefully 50 years from now people won't be struggling to
read what we have done. I have corrected any typo's I found, and anything I
was not sure of, I went to the cemetery and checked for a stone. In most
cases what is recorded in the records of a cemetery is the burial dates and
not the actual date of death. This one reads as the actual date of death,
but beware, it is always better to check out the death record or the actual
stone to make sure.
What has been recorded here is burials up to and including the year
1900. Many of these people are recorded as having died before this cemetery
was established in 1889. We must assume that they were moved in from other
cemeteries after the Park was established. If the record shows the place of
birth I put it in. But keep in mind most gravestones do not tell the place
of birth.
