Hicksite Quaker Cemetery Paint Township Remarks: On April 7, 1819, in Transcribed Book 1, page 535, Highland County Deed Records, by indenture, nathaniel POPE conveyed six acres to Enoch OVERMAN. In the description of the land in this deed is the following call: "...to a whiteoak north westerly corner of a lt of four acres of land laid off and sold for the benefit of Fall Creek school house and graveyard."

Residents of the vicinity say the old "Lower Fall Creek Church" or "Hicksite Quaker Church," built in 1835, was situated across the road from this cemetery and is now a part of the dwelling house there. Burial Record No. 1, page 4, in the County Auditor's Office, states that Allen TAYLOR, a farmer and a soldier of the War of 1812, died at New Petersburg, Mar. 13, 1886, and was buried here. His monument could not be found. Old newspapers refer to this cemetery as Overman, Fall Creek, Hicksite, Upper Fall Creek, Upper Quaker, and Stringtown. It is still used for burials. There are a few field stones for monuments.
