In February, 1851, this plot of ground along the North side of State Road and West of Dry Creek was dedicated as a cemetery for the city of Lehi; where John Griggs White, aged 75 years, was buried. This land was government owned, later it was homesteaded by Thomas R. Jones, who deeded it to the city. In 1872, when the road was widened and the railroad cut through the cemetery, many bodies were moved to a new cemetery; yet several poineers of this community still lie buried here.
