This first cemetery of Donley County, located sixteen rods east of the first dead of Old Clarendon, became the place where white civilization in the area sank its roots in sadness, and from the graves in this sacred acre strong pioneer spirits turned to face the future with greater love for the land and a firmer determination to build for a tomorrow known today. It is dedicated to those of the Old Clarendon Colony who first found rest on this bold promontory and to their survivors.
