Nokomis Cemetery is located on Talbert Boulevard.
The Nokomis Cemetery began during a small pox epidemic in 1903. The A.R. Williams Family was hit very hard. Story has it that the small sister Emma would run after the “Pest Wagon” that collected the bodies of those who died from the pox. She came down with the disease, also infecting her brother Ed Williams. Julia C. Williams became ill with the pox and died December 27, 1903. At the time, the City would not allow infected bodies to be buried in the Lexington Cemetery. Mr. Williams received permission from Nokomis Mill to bury the body in the pines. In later years and during the depression years, other families took bodies and buried them around the Williams Family cemetery. Buried next to Julia C. Williams is her husband C.C. Williams.
