Description
This
1930s
era
photograph
shows
an
area
surrounded
by an
iron
fence
with
10
stone
pillars
. The
body
of
David
Zeisberger
,
missionary
and
founder
of
nearby
Gnadenhutten
, as
well
as
William
Edwards
,
missionary
, and
William
Henry
"
Chief
Killbuck
"
Gelelemend
,
who
was
head
chief
of the
Delaware
Indian
Council
are
buried
within
the
enclosure
. There are also
several
rows
of
Indian
graves
and a
few
other
missionaries
buried
in the
cemetery
.
Zeisbergers
Memorial
Cemetery
,
sometimes
called
the
Goshen-Indian
Cemetery
,
is
located
between
Goshen
Valley
Road
SE
(Township
Hwy
322)
and
David
Road
SE
in
Goshen
. A
Moravian
village
was
established
in
Goshen
in
1798
by
David
Zeisberger
, of
Pennsylvania
, and a
band
of
Christian
Indians
. For
16
years
after
the
Gnadenhutten
massacre
in
1782
the
little
band
of
refugees
had
moved
from
place
to
place
. In
1798
they
went
back
to
Tuscarawas
,
setting
up
new
villages
on the
12
,
000
acres
of
land
granted
them by
Congress
, and
prospered
for a
while
. But the
deaths
of the
missionaries
and the
return
of
Pastor
Heckwelder
to
Pennsylvania
left
the
Ohio
converts
without
effective
guidance
, and
Goshen
and the
other
missions
settlements
declined
. In
1832
Goshen
ceded
its
holdings
to the
Government
for
$6
,
654
, and the
town
virtually
disappeared
.
