The oldest dated gravestone is that of a 13-year-old boy, J.I. Jones (1872-1885). Honored in this burial ground are veterans of the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, alongside the citizens that settled this area and have contributed to its history and development. The Sycamore Cemetery continues to serve the community and is maintained and cared for by an association through donations of descendants.
