Meacham Graves
From the Cemetery Records compiled by the Lost
River Chapter DAR
Paoli Township Sec. 34-T. 2N.-R.1.W. Obliterated
In a field, just west of Newberry Cemetery, are the graves of George
Meacham and his wife, early settlers from North Carolina. The family lived
about three miles north of Newberry, and at the time of George Meacham's
death, there was a plan to open a public burying ground at this place.
Only the two Meachams were buried here and it is probable that the plan
was abandoned with the opening of the Friend's cemetery, a few years later.
For many years the little burial plot was kept fenced by descendants, but
has now been plowed over. Isaac Meacham, a son, and Ruth McVey, a daughter,
are buried in the old Paoli Cemetery.
The graves had markers of field stones, no inscriptions:
MEACHAM, George, died in 1819
MEACHAM, Mary Durham, died in 1823
Married George, 1789, in North Carolina.
The Meacham name was used as a middle name in latter generations, beyond their children. (Mis-spelled in some cases.)
