CCA Overview
The Cheney Cemetery in Manchester, Connecticut, is owned by the Cheney Cemetery Association, incorporated in 1914 for descendants of George and Electa Woodbridge Cheney. Their sons established Cheney Brothers, a silk manufacturing business, which flourished in Manchester from its founding in 1838 until the 1950s.
The Cemetery Association maintains the Cheney Family burial grounds, sponsors genealogical and family history studies and furthers the family’s philanthropic interests in Manchester and Hartford. A one-time membership fee of $30 entitles the member to burial rights in a plot registered in the Association books. The Bylaws explain membership in detail.
