The Haas-Peters Cemetery is located on Amanda Northern Road, Amanda Township, 
Fairfield County.  It is .3 of a mile south of State Route 188 on the western 
side of Amanda Northern Road.  The cemetery sits atop a hill, and in May was 
not visible from the roadway.  Possibly in winter with a clearer view it may 
be. There is a gravel drive that leads to a private residence, but the owner 
of the property was very congenial and talked of many who have visited the 
cemetery. With permission to park at the foot of the hill, the cemetery is 
accessible by a hiking trail that is very wide.  The trees have grown up 
around the cemetery making it very pleasant, but also making it a haven for 
mosquitoes (go prepared) and increasing the moss coverage on many of the 
stones making them illegible.  The property owner told me the cemetery is 
mowed about twice a year; one time in particular is preceding Memorial Day. 
The Fairfield County Genealogical Society lists 62 internments in this 
cemetery.  I found 34 legible and photographed them.  I found 24 stones that 
were either totally illegible either because they were down, partially buried, 
moss deteriorated, or weathered beyond reading.
