The Mount Holly cemetery started as a burial ground on
the farm of John Campbell and later
became the "Old Bethel Cemetery in Mount Holly". At one time
there was a Methodist Church adjacent to the graveyard but no signs
of the church building remain. The cemetery is set back off the road
surrounded by farmland. The cemetery was "restored" in the
mid 1920s. [See page 25 of "Warren
County, Ohio Revolutionary Soldiers" by Mary M. Everhart]
Cemetery readings list about 130 burials dating from 1818 through 1897.
The first known burial in the cemetery was that of Hester
Clark Campbell in 1818.
