This private cemetery is associated earliest with the families of Joshua and Martha Vickers and Bryant and Frances Vickers, and it is believed the first burial occurred in 1845. The oldest remaining marker is for Rite Sanders, who died in 1866. The first burials were along the western and southern edges of the old cemetery section, where only faint depressions in the ground remain, because the first wooden markers were gone by the early 1900s. In earlier days, cedar trees and massive oaks stood prominently, and the families held cemetery cleaning days to rake and burn leaves, spread a quilt on the ground, eat dinner, and visit. Today, descendants of these families continue the tradition with an annual reunion and dinner on the grounds. Those buried here include Ezekiel Vickers, a veteran of the Texas War of Independence in 1836 and the Florida Indian War of 1838; his brothers Alfred Vickers, in the Indian War of 1836-37, and Simeon Vickers, in the Indian War of 1836 and 1839-1840; and Walter Walsh, husband of Sarah Vickers, who was in the Indian War of 1839-1840. Jordan Vickers and his father Bryant also signed the Memorial to Congress petitioning for the Territory of Florida to become a state in the Union. After the cemetery property left the Vickers family, Eli M. and Mattie Sanders deeded the Vickers Graveyard on June 9, 1905, to Don A. Vickers and Walter Walsh the junior, as trustees for their children and their children's children down through the coming generations. Descendants of these families have maintained the cemetery for 165 years.
