Newlin Family Cemetery, Parker, Douglas County, Colorado Walked and transcribed by: Alicia Poreda July 25, 2000 (c) 2000, Alicia Poreda See the USGenWeb Archives copyright notice at the end of this file. The Newlin Family Cemetery is located 2 1/2 miles east of Colo Hwy 83 and 1/4 mile south of East Parker Road. (Sec 24, T6S, R66W, 6th PM) There are only three markers: Elizabeth Newlin Wife of Wm. G. Newlin, Sr. Departed this life Feb. 21,1896 Aged 80 ys. 2 ds. Kind friends, beware as you pass by, As you are now, so once was I: As I am now, so you must be, Prepare, therefore, to follow me. William G. Newlin Husband of Elizabeth Newlin Departed this life Oct. 6, 1898 Aged 73 y's 8 m's 25 d's In labor and in love allied, In death they here sleep side by side Resting in peace the aged twain, Till christ shall raise them up again Mary E. Newlin 1858 - 1905 There are also 3 unmarked graves there, they are oval in shape, have wire fences about 1 1/2 feet high around each of them, and each grave is covered with fairly large rocks that are not native to our area. The speculation is that these are the graves of Moses Parker, his wife and child. The fact is that the Newlin's and the Parker's were neighbor's and that Moses Parker was a rock hound, the story goes that when Moses Parker's wife and child died during an epidemic, he commited suicide, considering the cause of death he could not be buried in the city cemetery so they believe that Mr. Newlin allowed them to be buried on his propery. We will never know the truth. ==================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
