The Woodhill Cemetery was established about 1856 as a private corporation and is now owned and operated by the Franklin Township Trustees as a park like cemetery of over 100 acres. It is the final resting place of many of those who were originally buried in the old "4th Street Cemetery" and the adjacent "Hillside Cemetery", both of which are now extinct..
