Children of William H. Gimble & Julia Francis Jefferies.  This cemetery 
had a number of monuments in it.  Someone took (or stole) them.  
These four were all that was left.  I presume they were left because 
they were small. Recently, my brother Bill Gimble removed these four 
monuments to the New Harmony Cemetery.

As well as can be remembered, the cemetery also contained the graves 
of Jacob GIMBLE and wife Mary, who were the first settlers of the New 
Harmony Community.  Their children Martha GIMBLE BREESE, maybe her 
husband, John BREESE, Mary Ann GIMBLE, Sarah GIMBLE (both old maids), 
William H. GIMBLE, his wife, Julia Francis JEFFERIES GIMBLE and the 
GIMBLE negroes were buried in this cemetery. - Mrs. Cecil Lasater

Since this was copied, this cemetery has been plowed up. - S. Beene
