This cemetery was first known as Pleasant Hill but was later changed
to Pleasant View when it was discovered that the name was already being
used. We do not know at this time when the name was changed.
Pleasant View was established on or before 1866, It was on the DLC
of Moses Matthew Baker. On his stone it read "Donated the land for this
cemetery May 15, 1886"
The Cemetery is 3 acres in size and has approximately 2500 graves.
It is about 4 miles south of Sherwood in the Pleasant Hill district.
The cemetery is fenced and has 3 gates, two of which are locked. The
west gate is left unlocked. This cemetery is still in use. Some graves
(probably earlier than 1866) are not marked, but many pioneers in that
area have stones. Mr. Taylor has the Sexton records and they helped
to fill in names for the graves without stones.
