Cemetery is a historic cemetery located in the Arizona ghost town of Adamsville in Pinal County. The Pioneers' Cemetery Association (PCA) defines a "historic cemetery" as one which has been in existence for more than fifty years.[1] Brief historyAdamsville was one of the first two towns formed in Pinal County, Arizona. The town was located at an elevation is 1,450 feet, on the south bank of the Gila River, west of Florence, Arizona. It was named for its original settler in 1866, Fred A. Adams.[2] in 1900, the Gila River overflowed and wiped out most of the town. Those who survived the flood moved to the town of Florence.[3] The Adamsville A.O.U.W. Cemetery (Ancient Order of United Workmen) was deeded in May 31, 1894. It is among the few original remains of the town of Adamsville. The historic cemetery is now within the jurisdiction of the town of Florence. In 1996, V. Phil Hawkins, cleaned, repaired, and identified graves in the cemetery as part of his Eagle Scout Project. Hawkins was able to identify the graves of 54 of those who are interned in the cemetery.[4] {{Clear}}ImagesAmong those interned in the cemetery and whose graves are pictured are [5]
