The old road went straight east instead of curving north, and this cemetery was on the south side of the road. There were reported about 20 graves there. Some donations were given to the city to remove the bodies from the bodies from the old original cemetery east of Leon and for their interment in the Leon Cemetery. Supposedly they were buried just west of the main gate. In 1912 the Leon Cemetery Association was organized for one purpose only, to assist the city in the beautification and upkeep of the cemetery.
