Mills Family Cemetery, Lacoochee, Hernando County, Florida

Directions:  From Lacoochee, proceed northeast on County Road 575 and cross 
over the Withlacoochee River bridge and on into Hernando County (County Road 
575 also becomes known as Burwell Road upon entering Hernando County).  About 
a mile or so north of the county line at a curve, begin watching for the fenced 
cemetery, set back on the west side of the road.  A small dirt lane leads up to 
it.  About a half mile north of the cemetery, County Road 575/Burwell Road will 
intersect with State Road 50/Cortez Boulevard, east of Ridge Manor.

Notes:  The Mills Family Cemetery is a fairly “new” cemetery.  The first burial 
in this private family cemetery was in 1957 upon the tragic passing of Amy A. 
Mills in an automobile accident at nearby Trilby.

Many members of the Mills family had been buried in the nearby Lacoochee Cemetery, 
but the family had made the decision to set aside land among their pasture acreage 
for a family cemetery.  With the passing of Amy A. Mills, the establishment of this 
cemetery was put into motion.

Previously deceased family members were soon re-interred here from the Lacoochee 
Cemetery.  The old style tombstones were moved as well, making this appear as a 
much older cemetery.  The family continues to use this very well maintained cemetery.

The Mills family was an important part of the Kaylon community, as this area was 
formerly known.  The Alderman and Dutton Still communities were also part of this 
Kaylon area.  Turpentine production, along with general agriculture, constituted 
the area’s economy and there was a stop on the nearby Seaboard Air Line railroad.
