History

The cemetery was originally purchased by three of the town's early settlers, Davis Baxter, Lewis Cross, and John Kerr. When the lots were put up for sale, the price was $10 for a block of ten burial sites. The first burial was that of Ms. Virginia Kerr, who died in 1870. The Town of Berthoud assumed ownership of Greenlawn Cemetery in June 1905.
