“The first documented burial in this cemetery, that of Phebe A. Martin, took place in 1875. Three years later, the town of Trinity was laid out on the George W. Wilson survey. Nearly 100 graves, many of them from the 1897-98 diphtheria epidemic, date to the 19th century. In 1914, a cemetery association was chartered to manage and maintain the public burial ground. Among those buried here are the founders of Trinity, professional and business leaders and local citizens who served in the United States Armed Forces.”
