RICHMOND CEMETERY
Yalaha, Lake Co., Florida
DIRECTIONS TO RICHMOND CEMETERY
Richmond Cemetery can be found 4.2 miles west of the Yalaha Post Office
on Route 48, at the intersection with Royal Palm Ave., near the
southwest entrance to Hawthorne. From Leesburg, go south on Highway 27
to Route 48, turn left (east), then turn left (north) immediately after
crossing the Palatlakaha River bridge. Cemetery is on the right (east
side of Royal Palm), and occupies six tenths of an acre from Route 48
toward the Hawthorne entrance gate.
The individual plots have been arbitrarily divided into four sections.
Section B is enclosed in a low concrete wall approximately 25 by 52
feet. Section A is located approximately 25 feet north and outside the
walled Section B, and Section C is similarly located outside the walled
area, approximately 25 feet south of Section B.
Jackie Haworth and Sue Dygert completed a reading on June 1, 1983 of
the original Richmond Cemetery (Sections A, B, and C). The data from
this reading was published in Volume 4 of the Lake County Cemeteries
series of books. This book can be found in the Leesburg Library in the
genealogical
reference room in section 929.50975922. Les Deatherage completed the
updated
reading of the inscriptions on March 19, 2003.
The Richmond cemetery is behind the original location of the former
Richmond Chapel, which is no longer in existence. The property is
currently owned by the Hawthorne Corporation as part of a larger
100-acre block along Route 48, and includes the recently-established
Hawthorne Garden of Memories,
a repository provided free of charge to Hawthorne residents for
cremains
of their loved ones. There being no containers, markers, or
inscriptions to read, George Wolf, as caretaker of the Hawthorne Garden
of Memories,
generously provided the list of cremains that have been placed there.
These
may be found in Section D.
