TOWN BOARDS / Cemetery Commission

The first colonial family arrived in the town of St. George in 1784. How and when the cemetery was established is not known. The earliest settlers may have held a town meeting, as Essex did, or possibly the need arose, and the place was determined by informal consensus. The earliest memorial stone is that of Loyre Higbe who died in 1793 at nine years of age.

The present cemetery is about an acre in size. St. George may be the only town in Chittenden County still using its colonial cemetery. It is maintained by an elected board of three cemetery commissioners. Hours are dawn to dusk.

Board of Cemetery Commissioners:

Mary Alice Favro (term expires 2014)
Lyn Wakefield (term expires 2013)
Bob Gugerty (term expires 2012)
