Kepper Cemetery is located in Bethel Township (Section 31), Miami County, Ohio, about 5 miles south of Troy, on the west side of the road up on a hill in a field. According to the obituary of Captain Joshua Babb, Miami Union, dated July 27, 1916, which states that Captain Babb was buried in the Ten Eyck cemetery. As he is buried in what we call the Kepper cemetery, then Ten Eyck must be the real name of this cemetery. These are compiled from lists gotten from the Historical Society (thanks to them) as well as a visual walkthrough in late 2002. The lists from the Historical Society comprise of a walkthrough list done in 1993 combined with the old list of stones. A (+) signifies an American Legion marker on the grave. Those headstones visibly seen in 2002 are marked with an asterisk(*). Ages are in the order of year, month, and day. I have done the best I can at compiling this. I can try to answer any questions if possible. *Abbott, Susannah A., wife of Geo. W., d. Nov. 22, 1888, age 32-5-17 Athy, Charles A., s/o J. W. & L., d. May 1, 1859, age 4-/-22 *Athy, John W., d.
