Samarian Cemetery

A traditional black cemetery, Samarian cemetery is the final resting place for numerous African-American soldiers that fought for freedom and the Union during the Civil War.

Black soldiers and sailors of New Richmond supported General Grant’s siege of Vicksburg in 1863. Five New Richmond men served in the same infantry unit, Company K of the 27th U.S. Colored Troops. Silas Owens, Joseph King, Jacob Thomas, Ila Houston and Alex Adams fought valiantly at Petersburg in July of 1864. These men are buried in Samarian Cemetery.

After the war, many African American Union veterans established New Richmond as their home. Samarian Cemetery on Rt. 132 just outside New Richmond is the final resting places for some of these brave men. The cemetery is a featured stop on the Clermont Freedom Trail.
