Her father signed the death certificate stating his residence was in Farmersville, Ohio. The Undertaker for the burial looks like is from Lebanon, Ohio. The place of burial on the death certificate looks like Slate Mills Cemetery to me. I tried looking for this cemetery online and got no results. Can someone help me determine this cousin's actual burial place. --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

See below from Ross County history: "The first burying ground in Twin township was located on the Teter farm, and Daniel Teter was one of the first persons buried there. After some years, the low ground was abandoned, and interments were made on higher ground to escape the overflow of the creek. Mrs. David Hare was buried on the hill in 1807. Nearly all of the churches provided a place for the interment of their dead ; but these were generally abandoned when the churches declined, and the cemetery at Bourneville, established about 1815, contains the remains of most of the early pioneers. Mention has previously been made of Core's mills, which were ____________________________________ TWIN TOWNSHIP. - 305 the first in the township. William Reed established a combined mill below Core's, at an early date. Job Harness built a mill on Paint creek south of the present site of Bourneville about 1807. This was entirely a "home product," the stones being made of "hard-heads" found in the vicinity, and the iron work was made by a local black-smith. This property was subsequently owned by Matthew Waddle, who changed it into a primitive factory and wool-carding mill, operating it as such until it was destroyed by fire. George Kilgore erected a grist mill in an early day, on the opposite side of the creek from the Harness property, and this was operated for many years. The Slate Mills are located on the North Fork of Paint creek, on the Cincinnati pike. John Morris and James Reese erected this property in 1827. The name "Slate mills" is derived from the character of the earth through which the race is dug, the workmen having come in contact with a heavy layer of slate which was removed by blasting. This property has been greatly improved under various owners, and is now in successful operation as the property of Jacob Blosser." Hope this helps Diane A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt....If luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.
