Owned originally by Daniel McNeil, the first resident of
Monmouth, this cemetary is the oldest free public burial ground in
Warren County. It was founded in 1833 and used until November of 1861. A truly historic site, the Pioneer Cemetary is the final resting place for relatives of
Wyatt Earp (a Monmouth native) and several soldiers who fought in the War of 1812, The
Black Hawk War (1832), and the Civil War. A complete list of those buried can be found in the county Public Library.
