Beck, owner of the Spring Valley Stock Farm south of River Styx, built a church at Guilford Center where a Lutheran membership worshipped for many years. Rev. Reed was one of the earliest ministers of the church. At the death of Mr. Beck the church was left to the Township with the stipulation that the grounds, and in truth the "God's Acre" be kept as beautiful as a burial place could be. The earliest recorded interment in the cemetery was that of Eva Floy Anderson-a four month old daughter of John and Jane Anderson. She was born on 20 Mar 1868, and died on 24 Jul 1868. Mr. Anderson, a native of Pennsylvania, and plasterer by trade, was born in 1844. His wife was born in Ohio in the year 1844. The couple was enumerated on the 1870 census as residents of Wadsworth township¾ of them, there is no further record. Elizabeth Beck, wife of Joseph, was laid to rest three years later. This cemetery considered consecrated earth, is sacred to the memory of those known and unnamed who lay beneath its sod. The Guilford Center Cemetery is located adjacent to Guilford Township Hall, on the south side of Greenwich Road (CR-97), east of Guilford Road (CR-41). The cemetery is currently under the direction of the Guilford Township Board of Trustees, who direct the general care and custody of the property and grounds.
