Vivian was first named Pealorsville after the Pealor family. The cemetery was started at the first school house about 1890.

 With the exception of a child who was buried on the extreme west side of the cemetery, Mrs. Alpha Anna Blount was the first to be buried there.

 Mrs. Jasper Tanner (Vadie Johnson) was the last recorded burial. Apparently no record was kept of the cemetery.

Through the records found in "THEY LOVED THE LAND", the Foard County News obituaries, and the records of the Womack-Manard Funeral Home

 a beginning was established. In 1996 the above group braved the elements (it was cold), the weeds, and rattlesnakes and 'walked'  the cemetery.

 A very interesting story is told of the burial of Cam Alto. Those digging the grave hit a huge rock that could not be moved,

 so much progress had been made and since they did not   want to begin again, a very unusual decision was reached;

They made the grave in a north and south position instead of the usual east and west.
