Mount Carmel Cemetery
Washington Township
Brown County, Ohio

Directions - 

History - The cemetery is located along Slab Camp creek on property
once belonging to Andrew Nevin. For a number of years, the 
principle-preaching place of the Methodist Episcopal Church at 
Sardinia, Ohio was in the house of Andrew Nevin. In 1840, 
Andrew Nevin donated to the church about one acre of ground, 
located one and a half miles southeast of Sardinia. That year, 
the congregation erected a frame church, which was occupied until 
1860. The cemetery occupied the same site and was used extensively 
as long as the church was in use and only a few interments there 
after. The Mt. Carmel Methodist Episcopal Church was relocated 
into the town of Sardinia and the old church next to the cemetery 
was torn down.
