The Saar Pioneer Cemetery is named for former King County Councilman Peter Saar, who in 1873 buried his wife on a small hill on their homestead. Since that time the cemetery has been known by many names: Kent Cemetery, Kent Methodist Cemetery, M.E. Cemetery, Nelsons, O’Brien Cemetery, Peter Saar Cemetery, Peter Saar Memorial Cemetery, Pioneer Methodist Cemetery, and Springbrook Wilson’s Corner.
