Taken from the Houston County Historical Records.
The Caledonia Public Cemetery is situated behind the old creamery at the west end of South Street. The recording of the plat was on June 14, 1854 and the original plat of 100 lots lists the owners: R.S. Williams, D. L. Buell, Dorval, McPhail, Eaton, J. T. Damron, W. McGinnis, J.A. McCan, E.S. Bugbee, J.F. Dunbar.
The first person to have been buried in the cemetery appears to have been James Abbotts who died on August 17, 1856 aged two years and two months. It appears that it was actively used as a graveyard until 1876 with no more burials there until the last recorded ones of Mary Oxford in 1905 and her husband, William, in 1906.
Over the years the cemetery fell into disrepair and many of the gravestones are either damaged or missing. The City of Caledonia then took over the care of the cemetery, mowing and maintaining it, but is has not been restored.
