History
2
Lake Geneva's first cemetery grew from land given in 1837 by seven early landowners in section 36 to the village for public purposes, including parks, churches, schools, and a cemetery. Thomas McKaig was hired to survey the land. Streets were named after early settlers, and some of those names also appear on the gravestones here. The land donors were R. Wells Warren, Greenleaf Warren, Col. James Maxwell, Dr. Philip Maxwell, Andrew Ferguson, George Campbell, and Lewis Goodsell.
