The City of Brooksville began official operation of the Brooksville Cemetery in April 1887, when it acquired a 5-acre tract of land, encompassing an acre already in use as "a place of burial of the dead." Originally referred to as Chocochattee Cemetery, our cemetery is located at 1275 Olmes Road, near the intersection of State Road 50 and 50A. The earliest marked grave in the Brooksville Cemetery is that of Jane Hope, who died in 1845 at age 30, was the wife of William Hope.
