History
It was over one hundred years ago that the Longbranch Cemetery Association was formed on April 16th, 1905. Longbranch was a newly settled area on the Key Peninsula, located on Puget Sound. The notes of the organizing meeting tell of their plan to obtain, by purchase or donation, land suitable for a burial ground, then to clear, grade, fence and maintain the same as a cemetery. This group of people were not only successful in doing so, but their descendants and other volunteers are carrying on that work even now into a new century.
