Hi Michele, The Oakwood Cemetery in Millertown, Ohio is owned, managed and maintained by the City of Corning. Records are kept by the Clerk of the City Council. His name is Don Van Way and he can be reached at: Corning City Council Attn: Don Van Way Corning-Monroe Civic Center Corning, Ohio 43730 I'm sorry I don't know his phone number. Re a "Cemetery on the hill" in the Rendville area, there are at least six in the area that fit that description: Rendville's Scotch Hill, St. Francis/Chapel Hill, Corning Catholic/St. Bernard (recently re-named St. Malachi), Millertown's Oakwood, and two very small ones - Mt. Carmel and Monroe Township # 2. Our Library has fairly complete readings of most of these Cemeteries, but in reviewing those, I could find no record of the burial of Patrick Burns. I presume you are aware of the Perry County Probate Court Death Records which list a Patrick Burns, died 5 Aug. 1900 at age 42 years, 1 day in Rendville. Have you tried contacting them for a copy of his Death Certificate? If available, it may contain information on place of burial or it may indicate the Funeral Home responsible for arrangements. The Court may be contacted at: Perry County Probate Court P.O. Box 167 New Lexington, Ohio 43764 They may also be reached by phone at: (740) 342 - 1493 They will need the name and date of death to locate the Death Record. Their fee for a Death Certificate has been $0.75, but that may have been increased recently. Good luck in your search. If you would like more information on any of the Cemeteries or their burial records, just drop me an e-mail to: Daine Maxwell DCMAX2@aol.com PCC-OGS Internet Coord

These ledgers did *not* include information about the cemetery or the funeral home. Early death records (1867 through December 1908) included name of deceased, date of death, age, marital status, place of death, place of birth, cause, occupation, and parent's name (if it was an unnamed infant, though sometimes you'll luck out and find it listed for an adult). It wasn't until Ohio switched over to death "certificates" as we know them today in December 1908 that they started recording information about place of burial and funeral home.
