Bordenville Cemetery
Jefferson, Park County, Colorado, USA
Bordenville Cemetery, sometimes referred to as Centerville Cemetery, is located on a hill a half mile east-southeast of Bordenville in the Tarryall Creek drainage between Jefferson and Tarryall Reservoir. The site is located on the ranch of Olney Borden, who settled in the area in 1865; its earliest known burial is the 1880 grave of Louis E. Troppe, the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Troppe. Noting the boy's death, the Fairplay Flume reported 'another case of diphtheria on Tarryall creek has resulted fatally,' describing the situation as an epidemic. The
cemetery holds the remains of many prominent pioneers of the area, including Timothy and Adelia Borden, Olney and Mary Borden, Borden family descendants, and members of the Barlow, Bonis, Dunbar, Eavenson, McCartney, Miller, Paige, Ratcliff, Robbins, and Wallace families. Most of the sixty-five estimated interments in the still-active cemetery occurred from 1880 to the first half of the twentieth century."
