"Description: Gordon Cemetery is located next to Lake Vermilion, and has been around since the mid 1800's. The cemetery is named after James Gordon, where he & his wife were one of the first buried here. At one point, a replacement stone was put up for them which listed Cynthia Gordon as being the first buried in the cemetery in 1812 - but it is believed someone read the original stone wrong since she died in 1842. (James passed away 1839). In 1924, much of the land where the town of Denmark, including Denmark Cemetery, was purchased to make way for Lake Vermilion - and the bodies in Denmark Cemetery (at least those with headstones) were moved to Gordon Cemetery."
