Tow Cemetery History
Tow Cemetery reflects the rich heritage of the local community. The cemetery's earliest documented burial dates back to 1850, marking the death of eight-year-old Margaret R. Thorp, who is said to have died from a snakebite. This indicates the cemetery's establishment during the mid-19th century.
