Since the late 1800's, the deceased loved ones of Englewood's pioneer settlers have been laid to rest on this high sandy ridge. John H. and Florence V. Hill deeded the land for the cemetery to the citizens of the Lemon Bay area, by means of trustees, on May 10th, 1900. The first Board of Trustees were John W. Green, W. H. (Capt. Hamp) Lampp, William B. Pope, Daniel W. Gallop, and Ferdinand Gottfried. A Perpetual Care Committee was established on December 13th, 1982.
