G. W. (Grandpa) Millsaps homesteaded the land just east of the cemetery in 1858 for the purpose of raising cattle. When his wife died in 1884, he opened the cemetery as a final resting place for his family and the families of his neighbors. Many settlers came to the Chrome area in response to G. W. Millsaps' offer of an acre of land to each, which he had made in an effort to populate the region.
