Hermon and all, There is also one (separate) overall index for the DAR book, compiled by a member (or members) of the genealogical society years ago. One copy is kept with "Monument Inscriptions" in the society's collection at the Doris Wood library in Batavia. However, due to a previous theft, both books are kept behind the counter and you must ask a librarian to retrieve them for you. Also, as you said that Tate Township Cemetery was well over 350....about two years ago, the genealogical society published "Tate Township Cemetery Cemetery Records" and it contains over 11,000 burials between 1832 and 1996. This book was compiled over a number of years by members of the Society and indexed by Barbara McCarthy. It is available for use in the genealogical society's collectiion at the library, and is also for sale on the CCGS website.

"Monument Inscriptions prior to 1900 from cemetaries in Clermont County,Ohio" Important,the huge book includes 10 [ten] indexes,not one. 2nd,when the DAR started recording the 1st cemetaries,rural Clermont County's road did 'NOT" have road signs. Carl Rush,the Clermont Co Engineer named,and placed road signs about 1950-53. Clermont County did not have a county library until 1955. About 1/3 of the way thru the DAR cemetary book,the DAR ladies started using county road names to tell how to find a cemetary. In most cemetaries,they included few tombstones later than 1900. They did 'not" include all family cemetaries. They did include,Moyer's, New Harmony and Taylor's Chapel cemetaries,which are just in Brown Co. They did not include Bloom Rose UB,and Mt Zion Methodist that are also just in Brown Co.Oh. Two churchyards missed in my Tate twnsp were Clermont Chapel Methodist,1833,and Indian Creek Baptist,1806 [copied but not published. A churchyard [?] in sw Will iamsburg twnsp was dug up,and removed to Old Bethel cemetary by the Corps of Enginneers about 1972. 3 tombstones and 50 UNMARKED graves.[Forerunner of Concord Methodist,formed 1835..] DAR ladies,until Aileen Whitt, skipped New Richmonnd's cemetaries for blacks. 1/2 mile west of me are 3 'PAPER" cemetaries formed by lawyer Robert Justice Harris in his attempt to halt the erection of electric line towers thru his,and our,.farms about 1950. ============================== Search the US Census Collection.
