In memory of the over 1,160 pioneers originally buried in Greenlawn Cemetery and moved to Crown Hill Cemetery in 1912. This memorial honors these original citizens of Indianapolis.
Greenlawn was the first cemetery known to exist in Indianapolis and was located on a small tract of land beyond the southwest end of Kentucky Avenue, near the White River.
In addition to the pioneers buried within this lot several thousand burials were moved from Greenlawn to Crown Hill and other area cemeteries. Among these were 616 Confederate soldiers who were reburied in 1933 at the Confederate Mound located in Section 32 of Crown Hill.
