The Happy Cemetery Association, organized on March 18, 1912, purchased five acres of land from local businessman James F. White for two adjacent cemeteries, one specifically for Catholics. The oldest recorded grave is that of William T. King (1871-1913). The association built a small frame house that served as a gathering place for annual decoration day activities from 1915 to 1985, when it was razed to make more room for plots. Numerous local pioneers and veterans are buried here, including both Confederate and Union Civil War veterans.
