History/Comments: Established about 1900. Many of the early settlers belonged to socialist, communist and labor-influenced parties, the majority of whom were atheists or agnostics. This cemetery was established for those without religious affiliation. After a few decades, the political parties disappeared and burials of Christians and persons of other religions began and continue to this day.
