the Poplar Ridge community 1.5 acres at this
site for a cemetery later to be called Hayden.
The site had been used as a cemetery since
as early as 1858. The cemetery expanded to 5.1
acres through gifts and purchases from Horatio
& Sallie Smith, Howard & Ada Smith, Carl &

1985, a perpetual care organization was
created with officers and trustees to ensure
