Pioneer Cemetery, also known as the Pioneers Burial Ground and the Indian Fighters Cemetery, is a historic cemetery in Yarmouth, Maine, United States.[1] Dating to 1731, it was the first public burial place in Old North Yarmouth, which was then part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay.[2] It stands on Gilman Road, around 450 feet (140 m) northeast of the Ledge Cemetery, and almost directly across Gilman Road from the Cutter House, which was completed a year earlier.

Notable burials

Inscriptions recorded by Augustus W. Corliss in his late-19th-century publication Old Times in North Yarmouth, Maine, and later reprinted in Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, include:[4]

Here Lyes Buried the Body of
Mr. Andrew Ring
Aged 48 years
Died Nove. ye 17, 1744

and

Here Lyes buried ye body
of Capt. Stephen Larrabee
Departed this life
Oct. 20th. anno dom
1737

Marker

The marker for the burial ground, which was attached to a boulder, was removed to the town's historical society in February 2019, having been in place for ninety years, because some people found the term describing the Abenaki Indians tribe "savage enemies" offensive. Information regarding the intended meaning of the text will be displayed alongside it at the museum.[5]

The plaque reads:

Here rest those who in the third and permanent settlement of the town, defended it against the savage enemies, some at the sacrifice of their lives.[5]
