Hi List, I'm hopeing that someone might be able to help. I'm trying to find the Archers that were buried in the Archer cemetery. The Archers and others were moved from the Archer cemetery when Johnny Appleseed park was built. Johnny Appleseed is the only one that remained there. I've been told that all the graves were moved to Broadway St. across from the G.E. plant, in fact, my mother worked at the G.E. plant in the 40's and remembers a cemetery there, but that is now a small park. I've also been told that they were moved to where either the jail or a museum now sits. If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thank You Brian E. Smead Terre Haute, Indiana

I also would be interested in any details for those originally buried in Archer cemetery. I had an ancestor reported to have been buried there.

Every grave in the Broadway Cemetery was moved to Lindenwood Cemetery in 1864. You might want to contact the Lindenwood Cemetery, 2324 W. Main St. Fort Wayne, IN 46808 219-432-4542.

Hi Linda, I don't think that can be the same cemetery, unless the one my mother remembers is on the G.E. property itself. My great aunt also remembers a cemetery on Broadway that's now a park. She's only 90 now, at least will be this May, and has lived near Broadway and Wilt for 65 years. There are a lot of Archers in the Lindenwood Cemetery, and I believe they might of started out at the Archer cemetery, but the one I'm trying to find, Benjamin Archer 1759 - 1833 isn't one of them. Thank You though for the date of move on the Broadway cemetery. Brian E.
