Townsend Cemetery, Hawthorne, Alachua County, Florida

Cemetery History: The Townsend Cemetery was founded in 1872 by Noah and Sarah Townsend at the death of their infant daughter, Martha Jane, who was born February 9, 1872 and died when she was ten days old. There were no cemeteries near at that time. A fence was kept around the grave until later, the founders gave one acre of land to be used for a family cemetery.
Since that time, many people have been buried there, friends and relatives of the family.
 Noah and Sarah Townsend were the parents of eleven children, two of whom still survive.
Noah Townsend died in October 1891, and Sarah died in December 1904, so this property passed on to their youngest daughter, Mrs. Mollie Stegall. It remained legally hers till in the late part of 1952, she made a deed for two acres to the Townsend Cemetery Association which has been organized since 1949.
 Anyone who is a descendant of Noah and Sarah Townsend, or who already have loved ones buried in the cemetery is entitled to a free lot.
