Background:

The present Cookshire Cemetery was established in 1885, when it was decided that the old burying ground in the center of town should be moved. All of the headstones and remains were removed from this original site and deposited at the present site east of the town.

This included the headstone and remains of Captain John Cook who died in 1819 and for whom the town was named. The cemetery is in very good condition with paved lanes and nearly all stones are legible. It is maintained by the Cookshire Cemetery Association.
