History of Greenview Cemetery

    ESMOND GREENVIEW CEMETERY is located on the Southwest quarter of
Section 18. The cemetery is south of Esmond on the Esmond Road just north of
Mowers Road.

    This is a well kept cemetery with fence completely surrounding the grounds.
A gate secures the area. Parking is provided along the west frontage. The driveway
appears to be in the center portion of the cemetery.

    The plat book of 1871 indicates the original cemetery property was owned by
the Dettmer family. The 1892 plat map indicates the school and cemetery in this
location, just north of Mowers Road on Esmond Road.
