In June 1962, a cemetery association was organized
with the purpose of upkeep and care of the Presbyterian Cemetery west of
Hannaford. Officers elected to
office at that time were Mrs. Mabel Benson, president Tom Daily, vice president Mrs. Winnifred Hoffman, treasurer and Mrs.
Lillian Steffen, secretary. In the summer of 1970, records were found in the
county court house listing the name of the cemetery as "Hannaford
Cemetery." The cemetery association meets once a year for a
short business meeting. The
association hires young people of the community to do the mowing. Present officers include Rodney Palm, president Don Campbell, secretary Harvey Benson, treasurer with Homer Benson as superintendent of the cemetery
association. The association met and determined there was a need
for a gate and fence project to both protect and beautify the cemetery.
In the summer of 1988, the project was completed with the help of local
volunteers and monetary contributions from those who have family buried here. Source: Hannaford
