History

On October 30, 1875, a group of individuals met in Stout's Hall in Honeoye, NY and resolved to form a cemetery association to be named The Lakeview Cemetery of Richmond and to elect a board of nine trustees. On November 6, 1875, the certificate of incorporation was filed with the Ontario County Clerks Office and shortly after officers were elected. By May 1876, the Board had purchased the land for $411. and immediately began making improvements.
