Reverend Henry B. Whipple of the Church Of The Good Shepherd in 1892 consecrated the cemetery. The cemetery has many civil war veterans from the Union and Confederate sides. Their are also many burials of Maitland's founders and early pioneers. The cemetery exist right on the slopes of Lake Lucien and its an eerie little place with stone walkways, vines growing all over the entrance and wrought iron fencing. 

For many years now their have not been any plots for sale because most of them were purchased back in the 1800's. But there were no records whether each plot had been filled or not. So there is a good possibility that many graves here are unmarked burials with no headstone. Many of the graves here are quite worn, vandalized, tilted and old. There are a few newer stones but very few.

There are signs that the cemetery did provide burials before it was ever consecrated two of those burials took place in 1884. The first one is George W. Hill who was born in 1854 and died June 6th in 1884 then a month later a boy named Victor J. Hill who was 6 years old passed on July 5th in 1884. Both perhaps were related maybe a father and his son? Nonetheless the cemetery makes an interesting little ghosthunt.
