In the early days of Garfield County (prior
to the 1930's) the lack of good roads, and transportation, made many of
the communities self-sufficient, and that included cemeteries.
Funerals were held soon after the death and
the burial took place in a nearby community cemetery, or on the
homestead. In addition to this list of cemeteries there are a
large number of known burials of family members on homesteads.
The Garfield
County Historical Society has indexed the burials in the
cemeteries listed below, as well as many of the homestead burials.
If you are looking for information, or know of a family member buried on
a homestead, please contact them.
