The Terrebonne Pioneer Cemetery was established on January 28, 1919 when John M. Perry and Lola Mae Perry deeded their land for an I. O. O. F. Cemetery (Independent Order of Odd Fellows). Lola Mae's son, from a previous marriage, had died and needed a place of burial. In the early years the grounds were cared for by the Odd Fellows, the Rebekahs, and, in 1950, the Terrebonne Pioneer Ladies Club. They found the cemetery sandy and overgrown. They cleaned it up, planted shrubs and grass and hired a gardener to water and maintain the grounds. In 1998, Autumn Funerals took over the administration of the Cemetery and a trust was set up to care for it permanently. The internments range from quite old to very recent. The current caretaker goes out of his way to preserve items left at the gravestones and maintain the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere.

I am currently working on a complete and up to date transcription on the cemetery.
