York Street Cemetery was founded in 1835 by Levi and Susannah Bartholomew when they buried an infant child on their property at the base of a large maple tree. The cemetery continued to be used until the last two burials, Carl and Hulda Kaiser, were buried there in 1986 and 1987 respectively. Over time the cemetery became neglected and unused until the York Street Cemetery Association was founded in 2000 by Charles K. Jennings, Jr., and Myrtis Litman.
