Description

The Red Rock Cemetery is set on a small hill in a remote area on Cemetery Road, which is at the foot of Bailey Hill. The Cemetery was created on land donated in 1848 by John Holton, the first settler at Red Rock. Holton's nephew, Franklin Ford, was in possessino of the records, which included the property title in the name of the original association, as well as a list of burials, when the papers were lost in a fire that destroyed Franklin's home in 1921. Nearly 75 years after the land was donated, the Red Rock Cemetery became a legally consituted entity, through the efforts of eight residents of Red Rock. Most of the burials in the Red Rock Cemetery were residents of old Red Rock, with the exception of those in the Shephard family plot, who owned a summer vacation home on the Red Rock Camp Grounds. There is evidence of 33 burials in the cemetery. Members of families buried in the Cemetery are: George W. & Mary Abbott Gilbert M. & Matilda Bigelow Herman & Martha Brandt Mother G.H.S. (presumably a member of the Bigelow family) Thomas Crowley Gorden Dorland (brother of Edith Nash) Frank H. Ford Harriet Ford Watson & son David Holton John & Sarah Holton & grandson Joseph & Lucy Irish John S. Jordan Frank W. Kinney Rev. William & Christina Moore & William Moore (son) Edith Nash Irvin R. Nash Shephard family: John I. & Sarah L. Shepard Dunham Paul N. Sauber Susie Sauber Baby Sauber Margaretta Wentworth John C. Wilson & Beverly Wilson (daughter) June Wilson (descendant of G.W. Abbott)
