Cemeteries in Eaton,
Washington Township
(Source: History of Preble County,
Ohio - H. Z. Williams & Bro, Publishers - 1881)
Besides the cemetery at Eaton there are
three burial places in the township, some of which are under the
charge of the trustees, and are open to the public. They
are named and located as follows: The Sherer cemetery
which was used as early as the year 1810 or 1812, is located
near the center of section seven in township eight. It is
in charge of the township trustees. Zion Cemetery is
situated near the Lutheran church of that name, in section
eleven. It is under the charge of the Lutheran church, and
is used by that body exclusively, unless special permission is
given for burial. The Bonebrake cemetery, which is under
the charge of the township trustees, is located in the
northwestern quarter of section nineteen. It is open to
the public.
The first burials in the township are currently
reported to be somewhere in the northeastern part of the town of
Eaton. At an early date some interments were made there.
These were forgotten as the town increased until at present only
a few of the oldest citizens can recollect anything about them.
The names of the persons buried there cannot be obtained, and
even the exact locality is a matter of doubt. It is
supposed that they were two children of some early settler,
whose absence from the township caused the name to be forgotten. |
