History Glossary

Hayden Cemetery

Place

A small cemetery whose two documented burials bracket the town’s own renaming: Mary Ann Pannell Armstrong died in 1880, while the settlement was still called Rockland; William Armstrong, her likely relative, died in 1917, three years after it became Hayden. Confirms Armstrong as one of Rockland/Hayden‘s six original founding families.

Notable graves:

  • William Armstrong (Veteran, 8 Dec 1831 - 1917) - lived through the 1914 Rockland-to-Hayden renaming himself.
  • Mary Ann Pannell Armstrong (1833-1880) - died while the settlement was still called Rockland.
