FIRST BURIALS NAME CEMETERY
Many travelers past Underwood's cemetery have breifly
puzzled over the name "Christ-Zada". Early in the century the Underwood family
donated this site for a community burial ground.
In 1903 a serious epidemic of diptheria broke out, and
two small girls, Christina Dark and
Zada Larsen died during the outbreak. The names
of the first two persons buried in the cemetery were coupled into Christ-Zada.
The name has no religious significance.
Christina was the grandaughter of pioneer "Eck" Underwood,
and Zada the little sister of Amos, Lewis, Frank and Aaron Larsen, Bingen
and Olaf Larsen, Underwood Heights.
