Cemetery History

This cemetery is named after Gardner Jones (1818-1886), who once owned and farmed this land. It began as a family burial ground, but later became a cemetery for the area. The first recorded burial was that of Samuel Perkins who died February 4th, 1845, and the last recorded burial was that of Ralph C. Wheelock (1884-1959).

The cemetery is cared for by the Jones Cemetery Association, and through volunteers and work bees, the cemetery remains clean and continues to be well looked after
