    Pine Forest Cemetery

    This is the historic cemetery in Mount Dora. It is owned by the city. In 1866, Mr. and Mrs. J.P…read more Donnelly set aside 2 1/2 acres to be used as Forest Cemetery. It was given to the Forest Cemetery Association in 1919. Then councilwoman Esther Wyatt Bishop, urged that the name should be changed because there were already 28 other cities with a Forest Cemetery. In 1953 the name was changed to the more unique Pine Forest in honor of the trees at this cemetery. The cemetery has since been enlarged to about 20 acres. Graves lie under the pine trees dripping in Spanish moss. The first burial here was a settler named Mrs. I.M. Mabbette in 1881 but her exact grave has been lost. One of the saddest known stories in the cemetery is that of the Warburton family from England. Their grave is the first to have received a marker in the cemetery and it lies to the right of the cemetery in the oldest section. The parents and two children were riding in a wagon on a trip to Eustis when they wanted to stop to water their horse. Their approach to Fiddler's Pond was too steep and the whole family drown on May 21, 1882. Recently some family members of the people buried here have become upset by the removal of the historic concrete coping that separates family plots. The cemetery took them out to make it easier to trim the ground cover. The Mount Dora Historical Society would like to see the coping preserved because without it some grave markers might be lost. If you are interested in history this cemetery is a nice place to walk around and pay respects to the settlers of Mount Dora.
