Historical Marker: McLarry Cemetery

 This site was first used as a cemetery
in 1851 when property owner John R. Jones buried his infant son here. The
land was later donated as a public burial ground for the pioneer settlers of
the surrounding Wilmeth Settlement by Mary Virginia Dunn McLarry and her
father Robert A. McLarry. The earliest marked graves are those of a brother
and sister, Henry E. and Adella M. Hall, who died in 1870. Also buried here
is J. B. Wilmeth for whom the community was named. The site is now used by
descendants of the pioneer area families. (1981)
