Scott's Corners Pioneer Cemetery is marked with a nice sign but only as "Pioneer Cemetery". There are also badly weathered headstones just leaning against a tree. This cemetery might as well be abandoned. Research shows there were no headstones here in 1992. They were taken to a Clyde and Scott's Woman's Institute apparently, but now they are back. Phone calls to the secretary and historian did not turn up anything new. There is quite the distance between the two places as well, and unsure why they were moved at all except to preserve the names. Unfortunately I do not have any names at this time.

Yes, for sure, I'm working on it. I can't tell you how many times I have driven past this and only seen the sign once. Maybe the County can help.

Very sad state of affairs, no records, no stones, no names, no history.
