Henry Firth, John's son, was also unsuccessful in relinquishing the cemetery. Another son, William Henry Firth, was authorized by the Davis County Probate Court to deed the cemetery to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but the exchange never took place. 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. The City now maintains 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. There are 65 identified graves and several unknown graves, including several Indian graves on the south side of the cemetery. Residents preferred not to have them buried inside the cemetery fence. One of the Morrisites buried there was Bella Bowman.
