“THIS IS PELHAM CEMETERY… Lives are commemorated — deaths are recorded . . . This is a cemetery… A cemetery is a history of people — a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. . .” These words certainly ring true. Pelham Cemetery was established in the 1880s. There are, however, older gravestones within its grounds. The cemetery is filled with the gravestones of well-known Pelham families and early settlers. The grave sites of veterans of the Civil War and virtually every War since may be found in the cemetery.”
