HARRISON TOWNSHIP CEMETERY, Pickaway County, Ohio

Harrison Twp. Cemetery is located 1/2 mile south of South Bloomfield on Rte. 23. 
The following information is taken from the records of the Pickaway Co. 
Genealogy Library in Circleville, Ohio, and was gathered by Gene and Barbara 
Welsh in April of 1981. It was transcribed for submission online by Sue Derrick. 
Any transcription of this size is bound to have mistakes. If you have specific 
questions about information that is missing or may be incorrect, please submit 
them to me (PteetPtoot@aol.com) and I will do what I can to find the answer for 
you. I will also be doing an update on this listing as time permits.

James Short set aside one acre of his farm for burial purposes of what was to 
become the north half of section number fifteen Harrison Twp, in the year 1801. 
After the farm changed ownership, William Miller added two more acres in 1850. 
June 6, 1877, Adam and Nancy Miller sold the original three acres plus ten more 
to the Harrison Twp. Trustees for the sum of $1174. The deed was recorded June 
19, 1877 by John McCrady, Recorder of Pickaway County.
