Butler Co., Ohio Cemeteries

• located on wooded lot between Breiel Blvd. & East St.,next to Chatham Village, 4389 Bonita Dr., Middletown, behind apartment 1700.
• two graves found on southeast corner - partial upright stones: Aged 76 years, 1 (or) 7 mo., 2 (or) 20 ds., A native of Newjersey (all one word); (?), 11m, A native of New.
• other foundations, stones, fieldstones - can't tell, too much trash and dumping of stone and cement, no other low areas resembling graves.
• an article in 1990 stated a possible grave on the west side, but that is doubtful, most probable that all the graves would have been in the same area.
• Roger Miller told me he had found a possible stone foundation upon entering the woods, but that area is now covered with dumped brush.
• A lot of trash, a lot of partying, a hangout for kids, and still alot of wildlife in there; I found deer antler rubbings on some of the cedar trees and deer tracks.
• last McClellan in that area around 1920; no known descendants; property had been McClellan farmland.
• Edgar Long, 80 in 1990, former owner of land, had one of 2 known gravestones; residents of Edith Grimm property, in 1990, had the other stone; I am guessing these would be to the tops of the ones there now.
• Across the street at Patrick Square, was another cemetery, now gone.
