The dedication of Grace Lawn Cemetery took place in 1864, which included the sale of lots at auction. After Grace Lawn was developed in 1864, many bodies from the old Middlebury street cemetery were removed by relatives to Grace Lawn Cemetery. Also moved from the old cemetery was George Claybourn, a freed slave from Virginia. George (born about 1785) was in Elkhart as early as 1843 and was listed in both the 1850 and 1860 Elkhart census. He died about 1869.
