PALMER CHAPEL CEMETERY
Bethel Township, Miami County, Ohio
PALMER CHAPEL/PALMER’S CHURCH
CEMETERY is located at the intersection of Palmer Road and Bellafonte Road in
Bethel Township, Miami County, OH which places it at the juncture of Miami,
Greene, Clark, and Montgomery counties. The
original wooden church was built in 1810 by Methodist pioneers and replaced by a
brick building (which still stands) in 1830.
The church and cemetery were abandoned after 1900 and both deconsecrated
around 1917. Legend has it that some
or all of the bodies were removed and reburied in other cemeteries, but the
tombstones were left haphazardly around the churchyard.
The cemetery has been vandalized. Roland
Roethler, who purchased the property in the 1970’s, recorded the basic vital
information off the stones in the yard. Another
researcher, Ruth Mohr, also provided information supplied by James Richard
Anderson, a great-great grandson of James and Anna Anderson who were buried in
this cemetery. Death dates of many
of those buried here coincide with the Cholera Epidemic 1832-1849. Transcription
