Entrance is from TH 42 just west of the mailbox with address: 16280. Easy to miss, Just a clearing and a small flat wooden foot bridge on a path leading to the area behind a small wooded area. NOT visible from 95 and BARELY visible from 42! Contact person for this township is Troy Kear. He is a Richland Township trustee; township trustees evidently handle the records for the cemeteries in their area. The Richland Township Clerk's address is P.O. Box 246, Wharton, Ohio. NOTE: Ken and I visited April 2003 and took photos of majority of markers.. Many are old and unreadable. Darlene Clinger created this listing of burials for me for rows 1-4 in Sep 2004; I added the others to complete that listing Dec 2005 From Mike Wheeler, a Richland trustee: At the Spoon Cemetery, about 20 years ago, a burial did take place. The family could produce the deed for the lot, so there was no problem. The Wharton-Richland Cemetery is the only one in our township that is open for new lot purchases. The markers are still in place in the old cemeteries so if someone produces a lot deed, they can proceed with a burial, but we technically term them as closed cemeteries, much like many of the other ones in our county. In my 25 years around Richland Township books and papers, we have never had any information about the cemeteries of legal nature. I asked a previous official about it and he never had any knowledge of them. We use what the D.A.R. assembled many years ago as our reference. =================================================================================================================================================== SURNAME FIRST NAME BIRTH  DEATH  AGE AT DEATH NOTES ROW GRAVE =================================================================================================================================================== base only broken stone . . . . 6 20 Broken Stone . . . . . 4 38 =================================================================================================================================================== SURNAME FIRST NAME BIRTH  DEATH  AGE AT DEATH NOTES ROW GRAVE =================================================================================================================================================== Bowman Henry no dates badly broken Co A US Cavalry Civil War 6 45 Brown Nancy . 20 jan 1880 30y 5m 8d w/o Henry K 7 38 Burson Elijah . 6 Dec. 1886 79y 9d . 3 40 Burson Elizabeth . 12 Oct. 1846 39y 5m 29d w/o Silas 2 31 Burson George . 9 Apr. 1841 66y 11m 28d h/o Susannah 2 36 Burson Jane . 29 Apr. 1872 52y 9m 9d w/o Elijah 1 35 Burson Silas . 28 Jul. 1864 60y 7m 2d h/o Elizabeth 2 32 Burson Susannah . 26 Nov. 1850 (or 1870) 74y 7m 8d w/o George 2 37 Burson William . 2 Nov. 1856 21y 1m 16d . 1 34 =================================================================================================================================================== SURNAME FIRST NAME BIRTH  DEATH  AGE AT DEATH NOTES ROW GRAVE =================================================================================================================================================== Clapper Ethan . 11 sep 1888 5m 13d s/o V & LB 8 17 Cole E.
