Marker : 
The land on which this cemetery is located was once part 
of a farm owned by the pioneer Larkin Gyger family. The first
 person interred here was W.B. Long (1817-1875), a Methodist
 minister and neighbor of the Gyger family. As the small town of 
Proctor began to grow with the arrival of the railroad in the 1890s, 
this gradually became a community graveyard, fifty-seven of the graves 
are from the nineteenth century. Also buried here are nine veterans of the 
Civil War. A cemetery association, organized in 1940, maintains the 
historic burial ground. (1988)
