The first grave at this site was that of Georgia native Anna Welch (1804-1877), who selected the
hillside for her own burial. It was used as a family cemetery from that date. The property was owned by her son Andrew
Jackson "Jack" Welch (1825-1899), a veteran of the Civil War. In 1898 the original two-acre tract was formally
designated a family cemetery in the will of A. J. Welch and his wife Nancy Ann. It was enlarged to 2.49 acres in 1969 by
their grandson A. V. "Vernon" Welch. Pioneer settlers and veterans of four wars are buried here.
