"Snair Burial Ground/Lake George Cemetery (1872)
Lake George Cemetery, an irregularly-shaped plot of about 6.6 acres, lies atop a hill on the west side of County Road 77 (Tarryall Road), a short distance before its junction with U.S. Highway 24. The unincorporated community of Lake George is located 1.1 miles southeast on U.S. Highway 24. The oldest burials are at the top of a roughly 8,000' hill in the north central part of the property. The graves of Edward J. and Nannie L. Smith's two children have the earliest markers: Cooper, 1872, and Elizabeth L., 1874. This hill became part of rancher Richard Snair's property. Other graves followed, and the site evolved into a community cemetery referred to as Snair's Burial Ground. After the establishment of Lake George in 1891, the graveyard became known by its present name. In 1904 Dora J. Kolle informed the county she was securing twenty acres for cemetery uses, including the land already in use as a burial ground. The cemetery contains the graves of persons important to the history of the Tarryall Road agricultural area to the north and the Lake George vicinity, including pioneer rancher Anson A. Allen, Richard Snair, members of the John E. Williams family, Sidney and Eleanor Derby, Jacob and Dora Kolle and family members, and Eli E. and Catherine Portis. A 1995 archaeological survey of the cemetery found approximately 175 graves, of which about 100 were marked. The Lake George Community Association has undertaken efforts to mark known and unmarked graves. A 2012 ground penetrating radar study identified six unmarked graves. This largest community cemetery is still active, with new
burials occurring mostly in the lower southern part of the site."
