Altman-Swope Cemetery Franklin Township Estimated: 38.887066 -84.124682 (I misplaced the original coordinates use above as a “general area” locator) 1573 State Route 222, Bethel, Ohio Directions:
The cemetery is between Pt. Isabel and Felicity. The most scenic,
easy driving route would be to take St. Rt. 52 out of New Ricmond
heading east and turn left on St. Rt. 222 at Chilo. St. Rt. 222
turns into 133/222 so stay on this and go towards Felicity
(north). When you enter Felicity you will want to make a left
hand turn on Light Street then a right on St. Rt. 222(north) until you
reach 1573 St. Rt. 222. Please do not enter the property without
permission. Pamela
Smith visited this cemetery in the fall of 2012. Presently the
cemetery is located on land owned by Bonnie Faubion. It is
located on a small hill or ridge above a creek (which we are finding to
be so predictable) and a lot of the stones were buried-- but some were
up leaning against trees. We would like to thank the following
participants from Bonnie’s family who helped find some of the
stones: Robin Simmermon Chandler, Alexis Faubion, John Faubion,
Joshua Faubion, Brandon Faubion and Bonnie Faubion. We
could not locate Eleanor Ann Hill or Elizabeth C. Hill. We
searched a very long time. Henry Swope is one of Pamela’s
ancestors by adoption so she was thrilled to visit this cemetery. Aerial Altman-Swope map Map to Altman-Swope Cemtery Map original Inscriptions |
