first burials in Arvada Cemetery
- - -
The community known today as Arvada began to be settled as early as 1858, but few deaths occurred by 1862, and those burials were made near homes of the deceased or at South Table Mountain near Golden. After the government survey of l862, a child of Watson Beeman died the following year. This was the first burial in the Arvada Cemetery.

Watson and Jane Beeman arrived on Ralston Creek from Missouri in 1861, and secured 320 acres by Military Bounty in 1870. In this area the Beemans built a log cabin. The third Beeman child died in 1962. George Swadley and Watson Beeman chose protected school land for the burial. This was the beginning of Arvada Cemetery. The Beemans left Arvada in 1870 and moved to Pueblo.

Mr. J. N. Bowles of Westminster has the distinction of having assisted in the first body that was buried in the Arvada Cemetery. It was a child belonging to a family by the name of Beomon, living in the log cabin on the Cole Ranch. They had a memorial service at the Cemetery. This took place 54 years ago.
