Scope of information:
There are a few extras beyond this, but for the most part
the following cemeteries are involved here:
1. Satterfield Cemetery - it's in horrible shape and if someone
knows how to go about getting it fixed up, please do so. I have
pictures of most everything there that can still be read - however
I could have easily missed things in the underbrush. Please be
aware that this cemetery overlooks Soldier's Run river. Some
of my genealogical references talk about a place called "Soldier's
Run" but to the best of my knowledge, there has never been
a township or such of that name. I believe the actual area referenced
was probably in the general area in which this cemetery is located.
2. Cemetery by US125 and Poplar Ridge in Adams County, Ohio.
This cemetery wasn't on the map, and if it has a name, I don't
know it. It's easily visible from US125, and you'll reach the
cemetery before you reach Poplar Ridge if you're headed East
out of West Union. I believe it's on the right side of the road.
There were only a few graves here, but of the few, I only took
a few pictures. There are other graves here I have not photographed.
3. Stone Chapel Cemetery - on my map this is shown only as
a church. No indication of a cemetery is given. I have many relatives
buried here and I photographed everything that I thought I might
have some chance of being able to read. As it is, I have records
indicating others buried here that I could not find headstones
for - in particular, a Hester Connell who married Samuel Black.
If anyone has info as to where Hester's headstone should be located
in this cemetery, please let me know.
4. McKenzie Cemetery - I photographed everything here that
appeared legible.
5. Hickory Ridge Cemetery (Brown County Ohio) - This is a
fairly sizable cemetery with a church (I suspect that this church
may be known as Eagle Chapel). I've photographed many graves
here, but there are still a good many
that I have not. Of the graves I photographed, they were either
family members, familiar surnames, or kind of a "reference
picture" that I tend to take to remind me later of what
other possible resources may be available in a
particular cemetery.
6. Farmers Chapel (Brown County Ohio) - This is a fairly small
cemetery with a church. I found the layout of the graves to be
rather odd and have to wonder if there might be a large number
of unmarked graves here. Given the shape of the terrain, there
obviously were some, but I'm uncertain as to how many. I have
photographs of everything here I could read.
If anyone has resources that provide history on these cemeteries
and the churches that go with them, I would be interested in
hearing about them. |
