Newton Cemetery

Newton Cemetery has served the town of Newton since it was officially set aside in 1903, although the first burial took place in 1864 when the landowner, G.W. Robinson, buried his young son. After Robinson died, a Newton resident bought the land and later donated it for use as a burial ground. Many Newton citizens are interred there, including veterans of the Civil War, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Since 1943, an association of concerned citizens has cared for the graveyard, helping preserve the history of the community.
