Or: 39.03581666 -084.29121666
Directions:
Take St. Rt. 125 from Beechmont. After the St. Rt. 275 exchange the
next road on the right
will be Nine Mile/Tobasco Road. Turn Right. You
will pass Davis Road on right. Continue until you
come upon Bradbury
which forks off of Nine Mile on the left. Turn on Bradbury. The
cemetery is in
the woods to the right- up a little from Slaven Road-
probably about a mile up the hill. We followed
the small creek that
feeds into the larger one along Bradbury up the hill then ventured to
the left. Look
at the maps carefully and see if you can bring a
GPS.
Pictures
were taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS volunteer, in June, 2008 and
guided by Brian St. Clair
from Pierce Township. Many thanks to Brian
St. Clair, who resides on Slaven Road off Bradbury, for
volunteering
his time and energy, to take me to this hidden cemetery. I would have
never found it without
him. He even helped probe and dig for the CCGS.
We found all the stones that were previously recorded
and there
definitely are a lot of footstones with no markings. One correction: Westerman Behymer death
year is 1853.
