Clover (Collbran)
1895(?) - Present
The Clover Cemetery was once known as the Milner Cemetery. The land where the cemetery is located once belonged to the Milner family. It is not clear when the land was sold and the cemetery name was changed to 'Clover'. There do not seem to be any 'Clover' burials in the cemetery, however a 'Clover' family homesteaded in the area in about 1907.
Both Clover Cemetery and Cedar Crest Cemetery are part of the Collbran Cemetery District which was created in 1952. The Collbran Cemetery District map can be seen here. [Note: you will need to rotate the view].
Several deeds related to this cemetery district have been located by
- 30 July 1891: Daniel Blackman cash sale patent from Federal Land Office. Description includes land which was to become the Clover Cemetery.
- 10 Sept 1890: Purchase of property by Jeff Milner.
- In 1989 a Virginia A Robbins Quit Claimed eleven parcels to the Collbran Cemetery District (Clover Cemetery).
