History:

The earliest cemetery is on one of the hills east of Washakie where about eleven graves may still be seen. The headstones have crumbled and many are unidentifiable.   One lone grave lies east of Plymouth on the old John Mason land. A headstone identifies it as the grave of a Mr. Cole, early resident here.
    On July 12, 1894, Bishop Thomas H. Archibald George Smith, James Burnett, Wm. R. Archibald, and Don L. Lamb started the present Plymouth cemetery. They were assisted by Thomas Nish, Samuel L. Pierson, and Leon Rose. The cemetery was located on the northwest corner of the George Smith homestead.
    The first ones buried there included nine children who died of diphtheria. They were: Thomas and Melissa Nish, children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Nish; John George, Charles, and Sarah Ann, three children of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clark; James, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith; Mary and Sylvia, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nish; and Eugene, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nate Levitt.
    Only one doctor was here in early days. He was Dr. William H. Andersen of East Portage. His home still stands.
    At this time a cemetery district has been created and plans made to improve the cemetery. Water has been piped there and lawn will be planted.

    This was written for the Plymouth Town Centennial 1869-1969 by Nola Star. The cemetery has improved much over the years. This year, 2001, modern restrooms were installed.   At this Time Vernon J Lamb is the Cemetery Sexton, with the help of Odean Estep, Kim Star & the late John Star.
