Burials/Deaths: New Harmony Cemetery

In the minutes books, the cemetery is referred to as "grave yard", "semetary", and "Cemetry."  "Fencing" the grave yard was mentioned in Books 3 & 4 in years 1880 and 1890. "Clean off" was done in Aug 1905, Aug 1908, June 1910, 1914, 1918.

The names below were extracted from the minutes books of New Harmony Baptist Church.  It is uncertain if these are graves in New Harmony Cemetery as the record just listed "died", "dead", etc.  However, the church was adjacent to the cemetery.  The names are listed in chronological order by the minutes book from which they came.  Within the books they were scattered in minutes, membership lists, etc.

Note: Items in [ ] brackets were added by the transcriber but the names were in the books.
