Goshen Cemetery
Since Goshen Presbyterian was founded with a funeral, Goshen Cemetery is as old as our congregation. Despite moving locations over the more than two centuries since our establishment, we've never strayed far from the graveyard that marks our original place of worship. Veterans of the Revolutionary War and Civil War are buried here, awaiting the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and the day of resurrection.
Many people have contacted us over the years seeking to locate the graves of relatives for genealogical research. Below you can find the recorded location of each marked grave as well as the information gathered from the gravestones. However, there is an unusual situation that impacts research. What people refer to as Goshen Cemetery is actually two cemeteries. Goshen Cemetery proper is only the area inside the stone wall. The surrounding graves are actually in the City of Belmont Cemetery, which is public property. The fact that one cemetery is right next to another has led to the impression that there is only one cemetery. Goshen Presbyterian has no records for the graves outside the stone wall.
