[click here for ==> Woodside Cemetery in Middletown, Ohio]

Location:

First Avenue & Richmond Street, Middletown, Ohio

This is a Butler County Cemetery that is now owned and operated by the city of Middletown. The cemetery is being photographed by Vivian Combs Moon who has graciously contibuted photos of some tombstones for those with connections to Warren County.

Vivian writes,
"The burial ledger is at the Middletown City Building. I'm not sure if the cemetery stones have been transcribed or not. I have found several stones that are not in the above buriel ledger. I'm transcribing the stones as I do the photos..I now have about 850 completed...This is a large cemetery...I think I will end up with about 2500 photos..."
