Indian Mound Cemetery is located in Moravia, Cayuga, New York. The cemetery was established for the reinterment of those graves displaced and destroyed in the flooding of the Old Cemetery.
"Indian Mound Cemetery was established in 1863 by the citizens of Moravia in response to repeated inundation of the Village or Dry Creek Cemetery. The first burial was of Samuel Ely Day, who was a key proponent of the cemetery and provided the land for it. Civil War soldiers were buried here beginning in December 1863. In all, 23 Civil War soldiers who died during the war are honored here. 107 other Civil War veterans, who came home to their families and went on to make the Moravia area what it is today, are also honored here; the last survivor was interred in 1939. Altogether nearly 5,000 souls, veteran's of virtually all of our nation's conflicts as well as private citizens, are honored here."
