Location:	North side of Western Row Road (TR 54), a short distant east of Butler-Warren Road, about 1/2 way to Olympia Drive. The cemetery is maintained by Deerfield Township. Cemetery #12217 in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003" by the Ohio Genealogical Society Coordinates: 39° 20' 15"N, 84° 20' 53"W TRS: SW corner of Section 5 Township 3 Range 2

This is in the Bowyer community, about a mile north of the present Union Church. About the same time the Muddy Creek Graveyard was started." "From Palmyra To Kirkwood - The Early Progress Of Mason" by Dallas Bogan says, "The early Baptists of the township found solace worshiping in each other's home. In 1804, they were recognized and admitted into the Miami Baptist Association. There is the possibility that William Mason's brother, the Rev. John Mason, was accountable for the congregation. Sometime later, a church not yet built, allowed the members to hold their services in a log schoolhouse along Muddy Creek near the Butler County line. A church was built later just west of this location along with the establishment of a cemetery. The first names recorded at the church were: John Seward, T.T. Brown and Robert Witham. "
Transcriptions:	D.A.R. Turtlecreek Chapter & Warren County Historical Society (available at the Historical Society Library) none Warren County Genealogical Society Warren County Cemetery Records Volume 6 page 352 which listed 35 burials [also see on-line Name Index] Chuck Griffen visited the cemetery for the Warren County Genealogical Society on 1 July 2006 and photographed all extant tombstones. Chuck found 25 of the 35 stones listed in Volume 6 plus another 13 not previously listed. The results of his efforts will be incorporated in a future update of .Warren County Cemetery Records Volume 6. If you have photos of any of the now missing stones, please consider sharing them with us. See Below. USGenWeb Archives This database was submitted to the USGenWeb Archives by Sherry Jenkins on 9 November 1999. The submission was based on data received from Lita and Erik Yarberry who compiled the information in conjunction with the 1998 cemetery restoration that was done by Carl Muennich, Secton and Erik Yarberry for his Eagle Scout Project. This listing identifies 18 additional burials not found by the Warren County Genealogical Society efforts described above. Seven of these were based on data other than a tombstone reading; six were based on stones that were found during the 1998 restoration but not replaced in the cemetery. The other five were footstones present in 1998 but not found during the 2006 visit. If you have photos of any of these stones, please consider sharing them with us. See Below
