Barr Cemetery
Mifflin Township, Pike County OH

Read [Aug 1989] and Contributed by Shirlee Rice Brown.


At one time the Daniel Barr family lived on the farm where this cemetery
is located, however the burying ground existed long before that time. It 
is also known as the Marsh/Barr Cemetery.  It is known that the first 
Beekmans to settle in Pike County about 1801 lived in the area and 
were buried here. 

It should be noted that three (3) Revolutionary War soldiers are buried here.

To locate this cemetery from Latham, Ohio, go south on Grassy Fork Road, 
cross the Sunfish Creek bridge; beyond the first curve in the road a 
farmhouse once stood. The cemetery, now under the care of the township, 
is on the hill in back of where the house once stood. It is 
protected by a fence. There is no longer a roadway to the cemetery, 
however access can be had by walking.
