LIST OF PIONEER SETTLERS
Buried in Crown Hill Cemetery.

On Memorial Day, May 30, we took a stroll through Crown Hill Cemetery near this city, and as we did so took notice of the names on the tombstones, we were impressed with the large list of pioneer settlers in this county who are buried there. We could not help but think that somehow those pioneers should have some kind of special recognition, for it was they who, through years of labor and sacrifice, helped to make our county what it is today.

We print below a list (incomplete, of course) of the pioneer settlers who are buried in Crown Hill cemetery. We have been unable to secure all the names of those buried there during the first few years after the cemetery was started. Some of the pioneers, of course, were buried in other cemeteries in the county, but by far the largest number were buried in Crown Hill cemetery, near this city. Here is the list:

Securing the list above has been a rather difficult task, and it is quite probable that some errors and omissions have been made. We will be glad to make any corrections necessary, if our attention is called to any errors in the list. We would like to make the list as complete and as accurate as possible.

A total of 193 (sic) names are listed above. It will be noticed that only the actual Pioneers are listed - those that came to this county within ten years after the county began to be settled. The sons and daughters of the pioneers are not listed unless they were "grown-ups" when they came to this county. (End of article from The Western Star.)
