Thomas Cemetery, G Names
(Aka Newport Cemetery)
This cemetery is 2 miles north and west of Newport, Indiana on
State Route 72, Vermillion
township, Vermillion County, Indiana. It was begun in the early
1800's. Philemon and Catherine
Thomas, pioneer settlers, owned the land on which the cemetery is
located,
Mrs. Thomas being the daughter of Jacob Custer who entered it. The
first
burial was for Eli Thomas who died 2 NOV 1831, and who was the father
of Philemon
Thomas. In 1886 the Collett family added a half acre on the south which
is
known as the First Addition. In 1894, S.S. Collett added Colletts
Second Addition
of 3 acres, purchasing the land from Catherine Thomas. In 1909 Stanton
Eggleston and wife Anna, added a tract that he purchased from Jerome B.
Thomas. In 1911, the Newport Cemetery Association was formed, and they
bought a
strip of land in the back from James Sykes, running north and south the
full length of the cemetery, and this became the third, fourth, and
fifth additions. In
1937 the sixth addition was added on land purchased from Burnett Nixon.
In all it covers about 16-1/2 acres.
I have
combined the information from two different readings. The first one was
done in 1977 and 1978 by Jacqueline Haworth, Billie Coons, Grace Canaday, of
Georgetown, Illinois, and Victorine Stanis of Westville, Illinois. It was
done from actual readings taken from the tombstones. The second was done in
1983. It contains locations for the graves. Items in parenthesis are from
Wabash Obit Index or WPA Death Index. Maiden names
of spouses are also in parenthesis.
