Bonneyville Cemetery

A Revolutionary War hero rests

Just east of the Bonneyville Mill on C.R. 8 near Middlebury in Northwest Indiana's Amish area is the iron gated Bonneyville Cemetery established in 1834. Tuffs, at one point owned the Bonneyville Mill.

Here rests Revolutionary War hero William Tuffs who fought alongside General George Washington and participated in battles at White Plains, Germantown, Lundies Lane, Monmouth and Bunker Hill.

He also, according to an interview he gave to the Goshen Democrat in 1840, participated in the Boston Tea Party, dressing in "sundry old clothes, a cap stuck full of feather and painted face"; and joining the other party goers in throwing tea into Boston Harbor.

The cemetery is private, but a new gravestone highlighting Tuffs' accomplishments, can be viewed from the fence.
