Violet Cemetery, Many of the area’s early settlers are buried here, It is located near the area bounded by West Johnson Avenue, Semmes Avenue, and Pecan Street. It is a flat, square site, flanked by trees.
At the beginning of the twentieth century a group of ladies formed a Cemetery Association to reclaim the burial ground which had become neglected. They fenced it, reset memorials and paths, and planted violets on the graves from which the ground got its current name.
Its burials include early settlers, 42 veterans of the Civil War, a congressman, early citizens and developers of Osceola, which was incorporated some 44 years after the earliest marked grave.
