Lenora East Cemetery

"The first death in the community occured October 15, 1877, a child of Mr. & Mrs. J. McGearie and a little two year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. G.N. Cheeseman, both deaths occuring on the same day. The southwest corner of the Hendricks quarter was chosen for a burying ground and on October 16, 1877 the first funeral, a double one, was held and these two little bodies were laid to rest in what is now the East Lenora Cemetery."
