The North Elm Cemetery Association
The North Elm Cemetery is maintained by and the responsibility of the North Elm Cemetery Association, a 501(C)(3) non profit organization.
The Association was established in 1958 and oversees the day to day operations of the Cemetery.
When the first trustees of the cemetery died and the others moved away, the cemetery was left unattended to grow over. In 1969, the Association was re-established with new trustees who, through the years, have gathered donations to fund maintainance of the cemetery.
The Association sponsors an annual all day picnic and business meeting held in the month of May, on the Saturday prior to Mother's Day weekend. Their goal is for the Cemetery to serve as a tribute to the many people and their families who contributed to the founding of North Elm and surrounding communities.
A responsibility to assure descendants the Cemetery will always be a vital and active part of the community and the history contained therein will live forever.
