Mountain View Cemetery
The Mountain View Cemetery Association, the only active cemetery in New Concord today, was chartered on October 26, 1866, but a burial site existed at the location as far back as 1803. In May, 1966, the minutes of the Association record that gravestones (but not the accompanying bodies) were transferred to Mountain View from an early burial ground, located at the junction of Daley Road and County Route 9. Among them were two Revolutionary War officers, Capt.Ebenezer Cady, who died in 1816, and Capt.John Davis (1817).
According to the records of the Hudson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolutions, at least 14 Revolutionary War veterans are buried in the Mountain View Cemetery. The same source records 10 veterans at rest in the DeWitt Brown Road Cemetery, abandoned since 1835.
Mountain View Cemetery is located on County Route 9 between the New Concord Green and the bridge across I-90. It is immediately adjacent to the property of Sue and Steve Anderson, The Orlando B. Allen/James A.Housman House.
DeWitt Brown Road Cemetery
This cemetery, long abandoned, is located on a wooded hill where DeWitt Brown Road and Sayre Hill Road meet. It was the first cemetery in New Concord, containing graves dating from 1764 to 1835. Among them are graves of the earliest settlers, including the Beebe, Lovejoy, Smith, Cady, Eaton, Doty, Thomas and Wilcox families. The graves of at least a half-dozen Revolutionary War veterans can be found here. In the fall of 2008, the cemetery was extensively rehabilitated by the Society of New Concord, funded by a grant from the Veillette-Nifosi Foundation.
The DeWitt Brown Road Cemetery is located at the junction of DeWitt Brown Road and Sayre Hill Lane, where DeWitt Brown Road becomes DeWitt Brown Lane . At present there is no easy vehicular access to the cemetery; nonetheless, it is reachable by hiking up the continuation of DeWitt Brown Road, beyond the former home of R.Paige Donhauser, The Alexander Hulbert House.
Cemetery
of the Maples
(East Chatham)
Although The Cemetery of the Maples is an East Chatham site, it is included here because some prominent New Concord historical figures are buried there. The East Chatham Cemetery of the Maples is located behind The Librarium on Black Bridge Road, on the North side of NY State Route 295, just east of the new bridge across the railroad.
