Directions:
Take St. Rt 32 from Eastgate towards Batavia. Turn right on
St. Rt. 74. Turn right on Amelia Olive Branch
Road. Turn right on Clough. Your
decision: enter from Amelia High School or drive past high
school entrance and look
for Midland Corp on left. I parked
(with permission) @ Midland Corp and
started the two hour journey. I believe
(with permission)
Amelia High School is a less complicated
journey and will take less time. If you enter through Midland
Corp. Just start walking towards Amelia
High School through fields and heavy brush.
You will want to find
Shayler Creek. A bridge is on Clough Pike to help you locate
the exact location.
Follow the creek
until it branches into two separate creeks.
If you have come from Clough Pike you will
want to get down into the left
hand creek and walk the waters the best
you can. Look to
your right up towards the hill. You will want to climb the
hill
after walking about 100 feet. You
will know you are at the cemetery. It is on top of the hill
and there is ground
cover all over the
hill. There are ATV paths all through this woods as it backs
up some kind of County service
building
and they are entering the woods to do some kind of
maintenance. This will help a
lot. If you can enter through Amelia
High School, there are
paths to walk on --some of the way
– which will also help. If you can use a GPS
– you are very lucky.
Look at all my maps
– this will help tremendously.
Pictures
taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS member and Vera Quehl, volunteer in October
2007. The
stones have all been
placed together in one spot. They are all broke and the
misplaced inscribed
parts are
missing. We were able to match the stones from dates and
ages. I don’t know if it has
been vandalized or
someone moved the broken parts out of the burial location and did not
probe for
additional
parts of the stones. We probed and dug, but did not have any
luck.
Stones we could not
locate that were previously found:
Pease, Prisciller
Williams, Mary Ann
Windsor, Luella
Rice, Susannah
