West View Cemetery was established in 1900 to provide a burial place for the mill workers and their families that lived in the nearby area of Harrisburg.
The first burial in West View was for 20-year-old Willie Matthews on 9-19-1902 on Row 1 section 9, Letter (Lot) C in the northeast corner.
West View Cemetery consists of a veterans section with its own flagpole, a Chinese section, and a pauper section. West View was not named until the early 1930’s. Before then it was known as City Cemetery.
