LAKE COMO-POMONA PARK CEMETERY

 

Parcel #03-12-27-0000-0630-0000, 5 acres, Deed Book Y Page 597.   It was founded in July 1884, when James A. and Louise Manchester sold a plot of land to Moses C. Welch, Joseph E. Eames and John Abercrombie, the Trustees of the Lake Como--Pomona Burial Ground Association.   Three more acres were added in 1976.   (From the book, Our Journey Through Time, Pomona Park, 1874-1994, by Nancy Cooley Alvers and Opal Walker Middleton.)

 

Take HWY 17 south through Pomona Park and go 3/4 mile to Kirkwood.   Turn left 1/4 mile, then right 2000 feet to the cemetery on the right.   This is a reasonably well-kept cemetery, but had fallen into disrepair.  Some of this has been addressed by a hardy group of volunteers recently.  Click here for a link to a reprint of a couple of articles appearing in the March 23, and June 29, 2005 issues of the Crescent City Courier-Journal.    Thanks go to Bernie Robinson and all who participated.

 

There are many Civil War, WW I, WW II, Korean, and Vietnam veterans buried here.  Of the Civil War burials, there are a number of Union Soldier graves.   Most of these can be identified by the position of the gravestones:   The markers face north instead of the traditional east’ also these markers are not dated. 

 

Note:  In April 2006 I received a handwritten list of names from Mrs. Norene Slate of Lake Como not included heretofore.  Mrs. Slate found them in an old ledger book, and requested that they be added, as some of the unknown, unmarked graves in the cemetery could possibly be these people.  At about the same time I also received a list from the Palatka library that someone had sent to them titled:  Pomona Park and Satsuma Additional Graves, the source being listed as from the Belva Slate Cemetery Association Minutes.  Many of the names in the two lists are the same, but some are not.  Some of the dates and information in the two lists conflict with each other and I have resolved them as best as I can.  In some cases where I could not resolve the conflict, I made two entries.  I prefer to err on the side of duplicate entries, rather than no entry at all.  Thank you for your patience.  As always, please let me know if you find an error or omission and I will be happy to correct it.  MEM-H

 

Several of the children killed in the school bus accident (bus vs. train) south of Crescent City in December 1933 are buried here.  CRESCENT CITY QUAD.  N 29o 29.480 W 81o 34.068 (Maintained).
