About Us
The Garland Cemetery was first known as the East Clarkson Cemetery. It was the second cemetery to be established in the Town of Clarkson. Ely Hannibal, a farmer and Free Will Baptist preacher, was the founder of the cemetery. He purchased 100 acres for $100 from the Town of Clarkson in 1816 and donated a parcel of this property for the cemetery. The cemetery also received land from Bates, Crary, Freeman, Ferris, and Moore families. Other local farmers donated corners of their adjoining properties to form this final resting place for their families. They all worked together using teams of horses to remove hedges, smooth ground, and create roadways. Thus a proper cemetery was built providing a lasting and meaningful memorial for families to hold onto connections with lost loved ones.
