| Dover was settled in the late early 1900's, close to the sevier river. At it's peak the town had a general store and town hall. After the river flooded the area, many residents died of malaria. The following winter was hard and many died of starvation due to shortage of crops. The rest fled the area the next spring. The cemetary has a plaque that give dates and details. Many young children, and even entire families are buried there. Submitted by: Jessica Roberts |
