Owner of cemetery
was Mr. Samuel McPhail founder of the town, set this lot aside for an
burial place which is included in the original plat of Caledonia. No
deed has ever been recorded. When he sold his holdings sometime later
to Maggie Thompson, Mr. Eugene Dorival bought a piece of land from
Miss. Thompson and annexed it to the original cemetery lot. This
south part (approximately 25 foots frontage) to gather with the
street leading up to the cemetery belongs to the Dugene Dorival heirs
A.D. Sprague then bought M. Thompson's holdings as if at sometime
they should move this cemetery the land goes back to the Sprague
heirs.

had worked around the county a few months. he died 26 Feb 1859. Trial
