"For many years The White Burying Ground on the east side of the village was not under the control of a legally constituted organization. It was privately owned by M. C. White who later sold it to G. I. Clark. It appears that the first burials there were Ames and Blanchard in 1838 and 1841. Many of Rushford's prominent early residents are interred there.
"The lot is five acres, part of which is sub-divided into nearly two hundred eight-grave lots. There are between eight hundred and eight hundred fifty burials in the cemetery."--The Spirit of Rushford, 1808-1958.
