Historical Marker: The Happy Cemetery Association,
organized on March 18, 1912. Purchased five acres of land for
two adjacent cemeteries (one specifically for Catholics) from
local businessman James F. White. The oldest recorded grave is
that of William T. King (1871-1913). The association built a small
frame house which was used as a gathering place for annual decoration
day activities from1915 to 1985 when it was razed to make more
room for plots. Numerous local pioneers and veterans are buried
here, including both Confederate and Union Civil War veterans.
