History
1
Now known as the East Farmington Cemetery, this is the oldest cemetery in Farmington. Mrs. Stanford M. Utley, who died from a fall while getting down from a wagon after her long trip from New York, was the first settler buried here. She was laid to rest on September 26, 1824, which also was the birthdate of John Collins, the first white child born in the community. The land was donated by Mrs. Utley's son, Peleg S. Utley, and many of Farmington's earliest settlers are interred here.
