History

Pioneer Reuben S. Senterfitt came to this area in the 1860s, and a town named for him gradually grew to include hotels, mills, stores, saloons, a school, churches, a stage stop, and this cemetery. The town declined after the railroad bypassed it in the 1890s. The cemetery contains the graves of many early settlers; the oldest documented burial is Joseph C. Howell, who died in 1877 at the age of three. Veterans of the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam are also buried here.
