The first person to hold the deed for this land was Mr. Davis in 1839. In 1853, Mr. William K. Burt gave 1½ acres to Jacob Wilson to be held in trust for use as a free public burial ground. The deed was written on June 24, 1853 and recorded with Woodford County on March 23, 1854. (source: Virginia L. Schultze, who surveyed this cemetery in October 1971)
