Woodland is downhill from Richmond and accessed from Wilson Blvd. "Richmond Cemetery." See Ray County History, 1973 for a description. The Richmond City Cemetery was originally a twelve acre apple orchard belonging to William Price Hubbell. Later it was sold to Cornelius Vaughn and his wife Mary, who in turn sold it to a joint stock company for the use of a burial ground. It was purchased for the sum of $537.50, and was to be known as the Richmond City Cemetery. (Record Book 2, page 601).
