Notes: The New Harmony Cemetery Association
was organized in 1946. There is no record of when they began using the
Christian Church Cemetery. It does state in some of the original minutes that
when the Church was first organized (1843) they took people to bury in the
Kilby Cemetery. Records also state that in 1859 the trustees bought two acres
of land from B. G. and Rachel Jane McPike. There is information that says J.
B. Mitchell gave some land for the cemetery, then in 1957 the Herbert Gourleys
donated additional land to the Cemetery association.
