Index of First City Cemetery, Adams County, Indiana

Contributed by Jim Cox, Penny North & Margie Pearce

The cemetery is in American Legion Memorial Park on the east side of Winchester Street just south of the former Erie Railroad, in Decatur, Washington Township. According to a reading done by the DAR: "It is believed that a list of all grave stones was published in the Decatur Daily Democrat at the time the stones were removed from the graves and piled in a heap in the southeast corner of the park where they were placed after World War I when the cemetery was made into a park. This lists only those still in Memorial Park as of September 9, 1958."

NOTE: Some of the inscriptions in this reading were reportedly found on headstones that were made into sidewalks at the home of Mrs. William Wade Bedwell, 1203 N. Second St., Decatur, IN.
