- Comments:
On November 2, 1881, Nicola and Elisabeth Glaiser deeded one acre "to the following named Families (as a burial ground) Dukes Neals Alleys & Clapps" for one dollar (see Colorado County Deed Records, Book Y, p. 40). Though this must be counted as the formal creation of the cemetery, it is certain that there were earlier burials. In fact, the deed uses as one of its landmarks, "the Tombstone erected to the memory of T. C. Wright," who had died in 1876. In creating the cemetery, the Glaisers also reserved the right to have themselves and their descendents buried there.
