HISTORY: The Salisbury Cemetery occupies land granted to Peter Salisberry in 1834. The land passed to Joseph and Magdalina Salisbury and their daughter Mary Ann, was the first buried at the site. Her burial took place in 1837 on a knoll where, in 1835, the first area school was taught in an old log hut. In 1869 the township trustees assumed resposibility for the grave yard. The family name retained by the cemetery has had severeal settings, however, Joseph's name was recorded as Salisbury. The cemetery occupies a quiet well kept wooded area and has been the scene of vandalism several times in past years. In 1984 some thirty two gravestones were pushed over or damaged.
