The land on which the Church and Cemetery rests was part of a land grant to Mr. Asa Pillsbury and had not been surveyed in 1881. It was during the time Grover Cleveland was President of the United States in 1886 that Mr. Pillsbury gave part of his land for the use of a church and cemetery. The church was also to be used for a school as there were about ten families living in the area at that time. All the community people helped in the construction. The foundation was laid, consisting of heavy 12 x 12 timbers washed ashore from a wrecked ship in Tampa Bay. Logs and rough lumber from the lumber mill at Palma Sola Point run by Mr. Albert Warner were used to finish the structure. It has a perpetuating deed, and the first trustees were Mr. J.A. Felts, Mr. A. T. Adams, and Mr. John Flowers. The deed is still perpetual with the heirs of the first trustees as the present trustees. Information was supplied to us by Mr. Jim Rowland. The cemetery is 5 acres or more in size. Many residents from the Village of Cortez were buried here because their area is too low-lying to make a feasible cemetery. The earliest marker found is that of William L. Lindley who died Oct 1, 1888, 48 years, 8 months and 17 days. A portion of the cemetery has been platted and a copy can be secured from the Historical Records Library of Manatee County; plat book 1, page 155. Those acquiring burial plots receive a warranty deed that may be recorded, thus avoiding the distress caused when some of the old cemeteries were destroyed for whatever reason. ADAIR, Peter B., b.
