This is the Ahart Family's cemetery, zone-approved by Caldwell Country board and deeded to county in 2014. It is located on what was the Dean & Mable Jones family farm purchased in the early 1920's and inherited by the sons of Joan (Jones) Ahart upon her death in 1986. This cemetery plot is located near the back South-East corner of the 160 acre property within a cement circle and stone work.

The land that it is on was originally deeded to Doug Ahart by his mother, Joan ("JoAnne") and he laid the foundation for a small stone & timber framed house. Some work was done on laying the south wall, but due to a racehorse training career which resulted in Doug's spinal cord injury, the house was not finished. Later, he deeded the land to Gil Ahart from which the cemetery was created and deeded to the County. Because of the resurgence in interest in home and green burials, this unfinished house will be transformed to a family cemetery. This should re-institute the old traditions of a family burial minus embalming and other expensive accouterments back to the old ways. In this way, our family will never leave our beloved land of our youth with the minimum of impact on environment.
