Hello list. I am looking for information on the Cost Cemetery in Bath Twp., Greene County. Does anyone know if it is still in existence and if so, where it is located. I would like to go there and take some photos. Thank you. Beth Lias Beavercreek
Cost cemetery is in south Fairborn at the end of Grove Street but it is only accessible from West Dayton-Yellow Springs Road. Contact me at [email protected] and I will give you more details. Wayne
To Cost Cemetery- From I-675 turn west toard five Points. After passing Arlin Place on the left (Arlington Vil. Apts.) look for Kiddie Launch Day Care. It sits back a little off the street at 328 W. Dayton-Yellow Springs Road. Drive into the parking lot at the day care center. there is a fenced playground on the south-east corner of the property. You should see a dirt road leading south into a grove of trees. This leads to the cemetery but I advise to park the car and walk back. From SR444 or Kauffman Ave. turn right onto W. DYS Rd. About three blocks up the hill there is a church on the s.e corner of DYS & Superior Avenue. The day care center is just past the church on the right. There used to be an access from the corner of Grove St. and Lowell Dr. but new apartments have been built there. The old cemetery and it's broken stones were cleaned up and a single stone with the known names are on it. I have photos from the early 1970s. The obelisk marking the graves of John and Mary Cost were originally outside the iron fence at the north-west corner of the cemetery. Good Luck. Wayne Seibert
