While a plaque at the cemetery gate notes that John Warren Curtis provided the land for this cemetery in 1856, the earliest dated headstone belongs to John F. Gibson, a young boy who died in 1859. There is a Curtis family plot with later burials, not far from the cemetery gate, and a granite marker there indicates that Mr. Curtis, who was Weatherford's first mayor, deeded three acres for the cemetery.
