SET Cemetery 11

Once a private burial spot for the wealthy William Fox family and the family’s slaves, the cemetery became a community cemetery in the 1860s. There is still room for years of future burials, as the cemetery currently spreads over about 20 acres. In addition to the slave burial grounds, other unique features include the faint outline of a trench line made by Civil War soldiers when they made their camp on the grounds, a “locomotive wheel” circle designed as a nod to the community’s ties to the railroad, and sharp corners in the roads which haven’t been altered since the days horses and buggies made square turns. That’s not to mention the countless Pulaski Countians buried here, who were the movers and shakers of our town from the 1800s to present times.

The cemetery was managed by volunteer boards and caretakers for many years, but the City of Somerset assumed ownership in 2012. As a municipal cemetery, it’s guaranteed that funding and personnel will always be available to keep the cemetery properly maintained.
