“The first person buried in the cemetery was an immigrant by the name of Calvert. He had come to the area in search of a home. He became ill and came to Dr. [Duncan D.] Briggs for help. Dr. Briggs was unable to help. He was buried in the spot that had been set aside for a cemetery. A wooden post marked the grave for many years. Today, a small marker bearing no name, marks the spot.”
