Notes: Cycadia Cemetery is located just east of US 19 at 1021 East Tarpon Avenue, Tarpon Springs, Florida. In 1887 an early settler, Viola Keeney Beekman, donated the land to be dedicated as a cemetery. In the early days the cemetery was managed by a small group of women from Tarpon Springs, who brought plants and trees to the cemetery in a mule drawn wagon. As the cemetery grew, they found management of the cemetery became too difficult. Therefore, in 1946, cemetery was deeded to the city of Tarpon Springs, which assumed management responsibilities. The earliest burial was C. L. Webster 1872, prior to formal establishment of a cemetery.

The Pinellas Genealogy Society will not be canvassing this cemetery as it was recently accomplished by two private individuals from Tarpon Springs; they have recently published this information. The data provided in this index is from a database received from the city of Tapron Springs in 1995. Unfortunately, cemeteries do not document birth information. Therefore, death dates are all we were able to provide at this time.

All dates indicated by a "d." are actually burial dates which is the only information available at this time.
