        BURIALS IN WICKISER CEMETERY, HARLEM TOWNSHIP
                     DELAWARE COUNTY OHIO

Wickiser (Wickizer, Wickhieser, Wickhiser) Cemetery is lost. It is supposed to be located 
on the east side of Green-Cook Road approximately 800 feet south of Center Village 
Road. The WPA (Works Progress Administration) found this cemetery when they did a 
survey during the Depression. Joni Manson, Dave Snyder, and Vicki Tieche tried to find 
this cemetery in 2010, but in three attempts including one using a metal detector with a 
mineral (rock-finding) setting found nothing. Over the years there's been a fair amount of 
dirt and soil re-distribution in the general area, and, it's possible the cemetery location (on 
private property) was inadvertently buried.

From 1880 History of Delaware County - "Conrad Wickizer, a native of Berks County, 
Penn., settled in the southeast part of the township about the year 1812. He improved a 
farm and raised a large family; many of them and their descendants are still living in 
Harlem, and the eastern part of the county. George Wickizer was well educated, and held 
several township offices. He was an honest and upright man. Mr. Wickizer died of 
cholera, which it was supposed he took from exposure. During the cholera season in 
Columbus near thirty years ago [app. 1850], his son, who was living in Columbus, was 
attacked by this malignant disease and died; the father conveyed the remains to Harlem 
for burial, and was soon afterward attacked by the disease, and in a few hours died."
