The Fitch Cemetery, located west of Eureka, Utah, United States,^[2] was established in 1920 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1]

Description

The cemetery is a private cemetery, which is not typically eligible for National Register listing. But the 1977 nomination asserts that "the Fitch burial area represents a most unique factor in U. S. mining history; namely, the fact that an entrepreneurial family not only lived in the locale of their mine but also are buried there. In fact, in 1975 a member died in New York, and the remains were flown to Utah for interment at the family cemetery."^[3]

The cemetery includes a headstone for Walter Fitch (1854-1937) and Exilda Fitch (1857-1948).^[3]

It is located on just off U.S. Route 6, but is more easily accessed by heading north off Utah State Route 36.^[2]
