Maple Valley Hobart Cemetery is owned and managed by the Hobart-Maple Valley Cemetery Association. History Maple Valley Hobart Cemetery was established on two acres of land in 1879 when Mr. and Mrs. C.O. Russell, whose homestead was located there, donated the land as a public burial ground. Originally, it was administered by the United Farmers Alliance until May, 1899, when the Maple Valley-Hobart Cemetery Association was organized. In 1924, the Association was officially incorporated, and it's this date that appears on the cemetery signage. Highline Community Church, which was originally next to the cemetery, was destroyed by fire in May 1953. Cemetery is in very good condition and well cared for. There is a road that goes into the cemetery and has a turn around. The earliest noted burial was 1894.
