Columbia (Pioneer) Cemetery
Boulder, Boulder County

Tombstone Photographs

Columbia Cemetery (aka Pioneer Cemetery) was established in 1870 and was, at that time, in the middle of a pasture.  Today it is in downtown Boulder at Ninth and College Avenue.  The first burial was Redmond C. Fisher (unmarked grave) in May 1870.  The cemetery includes a Potter's Field, the first designated section in the cemetery and there is a small veterans' section.  "There have been few interments since 1964.  Cemetery records are now kept by the Carnegie Library in Boulder."--Wommack, Linda From the Grave; A Roadside Guide to Colorado's Pioneer Cemeteries (Caxton Press, Caldwell, Idaho 1998), p. 132, 133.
