Page Jackson gets its name from the man who donated the land for the cemetery when people died locals would say, "He's going to see Page Jackson today.” Mr. Jackson, a celery farmer, would always stop work to pay respect for the passing funeral. The cemetery was not actually named until the 1980s. Prior to that, it was known as the "Colored Cemetery", with the only whites buried there being victims of the yellow fever outbreak, mostly in unmarked graves. Part of the cemetery is in Sanford City part in the county, so three acres of the cemetery are landscaped the rest is unkempt and wild. Over 3,000 people are buried in Page Jackson, and only 786 graves have been logged. It is a very interesting place. Civil war heroes are buried here so is Nora Hurston Healey's first mother, Ebony Magazine Photographer Willie Brown. Yorba practitioners, Black Masons, members of the Prince of Tides, and the Sisters of Ruth are also found here. There are graves of slaves/ servants, and one mass grave where an entire family seven including a one-day-old baby all died the same day, presumed by a Klan lynching. This is a very dangerous place if you plan to visit, walk it by daylight first, preferably the day. If a visit planned at night some graves are exposed inhabited with rattlesnakes. The cemetery is prone to caving in especially after storms. The police patrol at night due to grave-robbing.
