South Bend City Cemetery


The South Bend City Cemetery is a historic cemetery in South Bend, Indiana. It was established in 1831, when Lathrop Taylor and Alexis Coquillard donated the land upon which it was built. The Miller Mausoleum was built in 1882 and the Studebaker-Milburn Mausoleum in 1884. The sexton's cottage, designed by Parker & Austin, was built in 1899, the same year that the cast iron entrance gate was installed. A monument in memory of the veterans of the American Civil War of 1861-1865 was added in 1914 thanks to a donation from Union Army colonel Norman Eddy.
Notable burials include Schuyler Colfax, who served as the 17th Vice President of the United States from 1869 to 1873. Joseph and Mary McKinley, the paternal grandparents of William McKinley, who served as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 to 1901, were also buried here.
The cemetery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 4, 2018.
