SYLVAN CEMETERY
Land for the
Sylvan Cemetery was donated to the community in 1862 by
early settler
Daniel Lewis. The first person
to be buried in the cemetery was
James Horton.
Mr. Horton had reportedly come to the area to seek his
fortune in gold but suffered an eye ailment that was leading
to blindness. Mr. Horton died at a very early age. A stone
in the southeast corner of the graveyard marks his burial
place. Since 1862 the cemetery has been expanded several
times to a size of 18 acres. Many of the earliest settlers
to this area, including the Aistons, Cavitts, Crosses, Dalys,
and the Van Marens, are buried in the cemetery.
