The South Bend City Cemetery is a historic cemetery in South Bend, Indiana. It was established in 1831, when Lathrop Taylor and Alexis Coquillard donated the land upon which it was built.[2] The Miller Mausoleum was built in 1882 and the Studebaker-Milburn Mausoleum in 1884.[2] The sexton's cottage, designed by Parker & Austin, was built in 1899, the same year that the cast iron entrance gate was installed.[2] A monument in memory of the veterans of the American Civil War of 1861-1865 was added in 1914 thanks to a donation from Union Army colonel Norman Eddy.[2]
Notable burials include Schuyler Colfax, who served as the 17th Vice President of the United States from 1869 to 1873.[2] Joseph and Mary McKinley, the paternal grandparents of William McKinley, who served as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 to 1901, were also buried here.[2]
The cemetery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 4, 2018.[1]
