The Cemetery is situated on a piece of property between two residences and begins right at the road. This small piece of history, formerly known as the "Highbanks District Burying Ground", was deeded to the people of Richmond by John Bates and his son Marvin F. Bates on October 9, 1852 for the sum of $25.00. There was a committee created, possibly to oversee the grounds, that consisted of the following individuals: William L. Bates (John's son), Eli G. Perkins and Whitman A. Corbin. Names included below with an ( * ) were included in the original cemetery plat. ========================================================================================================== NAMES Last First Middle Birth Death Age Comments ========================================================================================================== Bailey John J 1794 1873 s=Permilla Bailey Bailey Permilla 1801 1887 s=John J.
