Donated by Julia Elizabeth Holton Benner in the 1880's, this two-acre cemetery was deeded to the Holton Cemetery Association by Mark H. and S. Louise Holton on June 5, 1905, without benefit of a survey. When the adjacent property was sold in 1961, it was discovered that the deeded land lay next to Holton Lake rather than on the hill overlooking it. The purchasers, J.E. and Alpha Cloughley, consented to swapping parcels, and the appropriate deeds were recorded. The first Board of Trustees consisted of Mark H. Holton, E.F. Ellis, and J.E. Branch. Current members are Michael C. Boyette, Wayne Carr, Pamela Christensen, Lorene Connell, Gary Cooper, Evelyn Mann, and James W. (Bill) McKendree. All are descendants of the pioneer families buried here, and most are related to one another, often through more than one line. Those buried here include pioneers, veterans of the Knights Company Florida Volunteers Indian War, the Third Seminole War of the 1850s, and soldiers from both sides of the War Between the States. The earliest marked grave is that of James B. Wilson (1834-1883), though several older stones are worn away or were never engraved, and pioneer descendant Esther Burnside Boyette recalled several wooden markers, now rotted away, that may represent the oldest graves.
