Delaware Cemetery

a/k/a New Harmony

       

Delaware community can be reached by taking HWY 106 WEST from Eminence, Mo. about 6 miles to HWY E. Take Hwy E. about 5 miles south to the community of Delaware.  

There is a cemetery (on the hill) behind where New Harmony Church use to sit. There is another cemetery about 1 mile on south on HWY E that is visible from the road on the LEFT as one goes south (See Rader Cemetery). 

 

 

GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 37.1033, Longitude: -91.4092

 

At least two of the graves that are listed here, according to the individual's death certificates, are said to be buried at New Harmony. I don't know if that means the community because the New Harmony Church is nearby, or if it is another name for this cemetery. If anyone can enlighten me as to whether it is the same cemetery, please do so.
