| Comments: | American Fork?s first cemetery was located at 300 N. 100 E. It was used during the years of 1852-1868. The old pioneer cemetery is now a park. Located on the south-east corner of the park is a monument with the names of those who are buried there. The American Fork City Cemetery is located at 600 North Center Street in American Fork. People of note who are buried here include: Martin Hansen, the man who discovered Timpanogos Cave; Edward Robinson, the world?s first railroad conductor; Arza Adams and Stephen Chipman, founding fathers of American Fork. Of special historical interest to our cemetery is the rock wall on the south and east side of the cemetery. This wall was constructed during 1937-38 as a WPA project. The stones are from the surrounding area and are mostly quartzite, sandstone, and marble. The wall is approx. 1580 feet long. There is a historical plaque at the main entrance. |
