For those that are perhaps seeing these transcriptions for the first time, the transcriptions may give on first glance, the appearance of a great many typos, so I feel obligated to explain that the abundance of y, m, and d represent abbreviations for year, month and day. Although you will find most engravers follow similar patterns, it seems there are several different abbreviations used to represent these three time terms including: y, yr, yrs, yr's & years; m. mo, mos, mo's, and months; d. da, das, da's, and days and on rare occasions, h, hr, hrs, hr's, and hours. I tend not to use commas except to separate surname from given name, given name from date, except where found on actual inscription, same goes for the [.] (period). When you see the symbol [_] (underscore), I use it to represent missing or unreadable letters, or if a lot of letters are unreadable I may express it by several periods, such as Jos...h . Sometimes you will find raised letters such as "c" in surnames such as in McClain, or if the engraver added smaller letters that were left out and added later, when I encounter them, tend to express them, when possible, as found on the stone. Sometimes engravers will use the latin term Æ or æ, this is just a term that generally replaces the word "aged". One last comment, all actual text found engraved, will come first in bold text. All comments, observations, personal knowledge remarks added by submitter, concerning an individual, but not inscribed on stone, will then proceed in regular text. ~R.M.Sizelove~

This was my first visit to this cemetery and found it to be nicely mowed. I believe this cemetery is cared for by the Newton Township Trustees. The cemetery is quite large encompassing several acres on a hillside not far from the Village of St. Louisville, Oh. This cemetery is east of Mt. Vernon Rd. (SR13), turn east on Loches Rd. (CR202) at St. Louisville, turn right (south) on Horns Hill Rd. (CR203). Cemetery is located on east (left) side, not far past the first bend in road. It contains many very old and difficult to read sandstone memorials. Some stones are toppled and others are so weathered that unfortunately, they can no longer be read. The earliest readable date I found inscribed thus far was 1816, and it's possible that even earlier burials were made. The cemetery is still in use to this date. I first traveled here to try to locate a burial for an individual that wrote a request for information concerning Samuel Shank, who died 31 March, 1911. Unfortunately my first & second visit did not yield a marker with his name, it's possible that no marker has been placed for this individual. The transcriptions and photos are random and only a sampling of a very large cemetery. They are not placed in ordered rows at this time. For ease of searching, I have submitted these partial readings in alphabetical order. * indicates source of extra data, "The Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly", extractions made from 1894 to 1912 from earlier data.
