New Paris Cemetery is located at the east edge of New Paris [Elkhart County, Indiana, USA] on the south side of County Road 46 on Market Street in New Paris. It has not been found on whose property that this cemetery was founded. The oldest inscription was found to be for Rebecca Clyde, daugher of William and Harriet Clyde, died July 3, 1841. There are other burials here in the 1840's. The first deed found was on March 4, 1853, from Israel Immel to the New Paris Citizens and County Commissioners. Other later deeds can be found; 1892 from Henry Neff, 1893 from Eve Immel, 1941 from Melvin D. Neff, 1864 from L. Paul Helman, and 1980 from Wayne Moneyheffer. These deeds now make this cemetery 7.5 acres in size. On February 8, 1892 th first Cemetery Assication meeting was held in order to set up the organization. Arthur Mackey was chosen for President but he refused to serve becauseof his age. Thomas J. Harriman was then elected. It seems that Henry Neff wanted $145.00 per acre so money was raised by subscription in order to purchase additional land. Lots were sold form $4.00 to $12.00 and this depended on the location of such lots. Elkhart Genealogical Society, August 1987.
