History:
The South Weber Pioneer Cemetery was started as a private facility on
the Firth property. It is believed that the cemetery was abandoned after 1927
because of a high water table, due to the Weber/Davis Canal.
Cemetery maintenance was a Scout project and a community service
project for many years. The U.S. Army Reserve united worked on restoring the
cemetery from 1973-1975. Then, in the late 1970's it was deeded to the City of South
Weber (once they reached 3rd class city status) by former owner Brent Winchester, and they
maintain the lawns and irrigation system. Grave maintenance is currently a family
responsibility.
The Cemetery is located south of the Old Morrisite Fort. There is
at least one burial from the White on White War of 1862.
