FRAWLEY CEMETERY
Catalogued by Mrs. James A. Preston on October 25, 1974. Located in
section 32, Town of Sylvan. Follow U.S. 14 north through Bosstown, take
second left turn and continue southward for about one mile. Leave road
at edge of woods and turn right for about 500 feet. The area is well
wooded, which obscures the site from the roadway. The land is presently
owned by Tim Manning, The burial ground was listed as a cemetery in a
County plat of 1895. However, it began as a family plot in about
1856. The site is in poor condition including the wire fenced
enclosure. Eight known child burials and one adult concludes the total
identifiable grave markers found at this late date. The one known
adult, Zenas W. Beviers, was an early educator in Richland County. An
early Bosstown postoffice was housed at his residence before the small
township center became established along U.S. 14. Many small
postoffices became obsolete as the population increased and rural
routes increased their local delivery coverage. Felton Cemetery also
replaced Frawley as a local burial site.
