Salem United Methodist Church Cemetery, also recorded simply as Salem Cemetery, dates back to 1836, when the Salem Methodist congregation was organized in the New Era community on the northeast side of Sumter County (Land Lot 105 of the 27th District). The church-affiliated burial ground on Upper River Road near Americus preserves generations of that early rural settlement's families. Its origins in the 1830s make it one of the older established cemeteries in the county.
