Johnson Station LbNA #31251

Now part of Arlington, this area was established in the 1840s as a Ranger station and trading post known as Johnson Station. This cemetery serves as a reminder of that early settlement. The oldest marked grave in the cemetery is that of Elizabeth Robinson (d. 11-15-1863). A number of unmarked graves may date from an earlier time period, and a variety of gravestone styles are found here as well, marking the graves of pioneer settlers, veterans of the Civil War, and charter members of an early Masonic lodge.

Johnson Station Cemetery is on the east side of Cooper Street, just north of Mayfield. There is a white sign at the entrance from Cooper Street. Turn in on the gravel drive and go to the gate to the left of the arched pedestrian entrance. Look for the two white angels together as you enter the cemetery. Head to the older side of the cemetery, on the right where the larger trees are, and observe the beautiful old monuments. Look for the concrete “house”. On the right side of the house is a pink granite marker for the wife of E.W. Cameron. Behind that is a marker for Robert Cameron. Almost directly back from that marker, toward the back of the cemetery, is a small monument for Delia Williams Hoffman. From this marker, look to the right for a large bush between two large oak trees. The box is in the middle of this bush at its base under some leaves.
