Eli Davis Family Cemetery
Polo Fields subdivision, Barnsby Lane, Union Township
N39˚ 08.261 W 084˚
17.038 875 Elev. Within 43 ft.
Directions: Take St. Rt 32 from Batavia towards
Newton. Before descending down “32 Hill” in Mt.
Carmel turn
right on Mt. Carmel Road. At the first stop sign turn right
on Beechwood Road. Continue
on Beechwood Road until you come
upon Polo Fields Subdivision. You will turn right on
Dorgene.
Second street on left will be Barnsby – turn
here. Between 5032 and 5037 Barnsby Lane there is a
black
wrought iron fenced area in which this small cemetery is
located. To the left of this cemetery is
a maintenance drive
that you may park in. I parked on the road. Easy
access.
Pictures taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS member in the Spring of
2008. Phyllis Lowe, who lives in the
area, provided me with
the location of this cemetery. I dug up two stones that were
buried about 6-8 inches
in the ground. It looks like they are
the original cemetery stones and someone had a beautiful monument
erected of all that are buried in this cemetery. I probed for
about an hour before I left to make sure I did
not miss any.
A neighbor visited and stated he spot trimmed the cemetery several
times a year and asked
that I leave the stones face up for all to see
and read the inscriptions. (I usually place them back – face
down to protect from acid rain). It was just strange to see
this cemetery in the middle of these homes,
but grateful that the Polo
Fields community chose to preserve its location.
