Land consisting of 17 acres situated in North Oxford and adjoining Ingersoll was purchased for
a cemetery in 1864 by a group of 168 local residents who became shareholders in the Ingersoll
Rural Cemetery Company. The first meeting was held May 21, 1864, and the board elected:
president, D. M. Robertson; treasurer, Charles E. Chadwick; W. A. Ramsey, Donald Wallace,
Adam Oliver, James Noxon, Warren Harris, James Wallace, and William McDowell. J. W.
Canfield was appointed secretary, and G. W. Wonham was the surveyor.
There was a diphtheria epidemic at the time. Of the first 25 buried 14 were children, and 11 of
those died of diphtheria. In 1882, the committee decided no more interest was to be paid to
the shareholders. In 1927 a mausoleum was erected. The cemetery became a municipal
cemetery on August 1, 1955.
