Pioneer Cemetery

Pioneer Cemetery

The first cemetery established at Paris was just north of the railroad. There are approximately 200 graves in it that are still marked by headstones. The city has had the stones reset in concrete and the grounds have been cleaned up and a fence eected around them to prevent trespassing. Many names famous in early Monroe County history are to be found in this old burial place. This article was published by the newspaper "The Appeal" and it attempts to give as complete as possible list of those buried in this old cemetery. Some stones indicate a single date and that is the death date.
