Daniel N. and Mary H. Alley deeded the space for Cedar Grove Cemetery, an African-American cemetery in Jefferson, to the Trustees for Cedar Grove Cemetery Association. This consisted of space in Plat 70 and parts of Plats 69, 33, and 32 in the Alley Division of the City of Jefferson. One of the trustees was Charles J. Young, owner of the Grove property.

Please note that as hard as we try, we are human. Sometimes we miss a grave here and there. If you know of an interment that is not listed here, unmarked graves, cemetery history, have added information for an interment, or have a gravesite picture you would like to see added, please contact the county coordinator. Our goal is to put as much information online as possible.
