A few years since, it was deeded to the Trustees, and is now kept fenced and put in order by them. Here rest the remains of many of the early and prominent men of Patterson and vicinity, such as A. W. Worley. Dr. A. F. Stanley, John McVitty, Henry Zimmerman and many others.

Below are three lists relating to surnames buried at a particular location within the cemetery. Please note that the lists are only surnames not relate to an actual burial location and that more than one individual of that surname may be buried within that section. An astute reader has noticed that the first two lists are very similar. This is due to sorting. The original listings were in burial, not alphabetical, order.
