On February 28, 1877, Masonic Lodge No. 423 of Weimar, established two years earlier, purchased two acres from D.W. Jackson for a lodge cemetery. Jackson had sold two adjacent acres in 1875 to Lodge 201 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for an I.O.O.F. burial site. The Masonic Cemetery was enlarged in 1916 and 1944. On May 7, 1959, the I.O.O.F. Cemetery was deeded to the Weimar Cemetery Trust, legally combining the two sites into one cemetery under the Masonic name. A Ladies Cemetery Association was first established to care for the site in 1891, and Weimar Cemetery, Inc. continues today as the entity overseeing the burial ground.
