The Culbertsons owned all the land south and east of this point to the river from 1835-1983. Carroll Culbertsons estate designated burial rights to the families of 3 devisees who still use the cemetery. The cemetery was illustrated in Ripley's Believe It or Not as the cemetery in the middle of the road. The first river crossing was straight south along this road at the river. The cemetery is now maintained by Lockport Township.
