The original town cemetery is located in the block bounded north by Hill Street, south by Vine Street and east by Carron Street. It was filled to capacity with the yellow fever victims. At the time of the 1853 epidemic, there were approximately 300 residents in the corporate limits. One-third of the Washington residents succumbed to the disease.
