Dunham Cemetery
Town of Stillwater

 

photo of Dunham Cemetery, Town of Stillwater

 

 
 
 
 

The Dunham Cemetery is located near the northwest corner of the intersection of Luther and Brightman roads, set back from both roads, and up on a hill, behind the houses. The old access road is off Luther Road, just east of the first new driveway.  

The cemetery stands on land previously owned by the Dunham family, hence its name. No early record of this cemetery has been found.   It seems to have been first recorded in the summer of 1978 by Richard D. Arnold, who found the cemetery “quite run down” with many stones overturned and buried under dirt, pine needles and weeds. The following list of inscriptions was compiled following extensive restoration work during the summer of 2007.   In addition, there are a number of field stone markers, without inscription.
