Green Lawn Cemetery
The Green Lawn Cemetery is in Berthoud, Colorado, at the corner of County Road 1 and Highway 56. Following the death of Ida Cross, daughter of John Cross in 1884, a committee of early settlers staked out, purchased, and plotted the cemetery. This committee consisted of Davis Baxter, Lewis Cross, J. W. Everhard, Major John Kerr, Peter Turner, and M.D. Whipple. Ida Cross was the first person to be interred at the cemetery. M.D. Whipple is said to be the person that named the cemetery, Green Lawn. The oldest dated headstone is 1870 for Virginia Kerr.
The Town of Berthoud has owned and operated the Green Lawn Cemetery since June 1905.
