Bosserman The Greenville Creek Cemetery is located along the west side of the Buckneck Road about one mile south of State Route 36. It is approximately three miles west of Covington and two miles southeast of Bradford. Beside this cemetery is the Greenville Creek United Church of Christ. It can also be described as being in the southeast quarter of Section 27, Town 9, Range 4. The first burial in this place, according to the inscriptions on the grave-stones, was Lydia Hoover who died 14 April 1843, and the second was Nathan Coppock, who died 18 June 1843. The Greenville Creek Church was organized 9 Aug. 1843 by Elder Caleb Worley and the first meeting house was built in 1844. It stood about 40 rods due north of the present (1982) church. The old structure was replaced by the present structure about 1882. At first all burials were in "the old section" of this cemetery until 1881 when John W. Dowler platted out the "new cemetery". In 1938, Thomas C. Freshour made a "map record" of all of the graves that could be identified as such and in most cases showed the name of the person in each grave along with the year of death and sometimes the year of birth. This map is now in the care of the Newberry Township Trustees and was referred to by myself (jhb) when compiling the following list of burials. All the following data is from gravestones except when an asterick (*) is shown which indicates Township Records were used. The stones were copied June & July 1982.
