Jacqi, Here is what is listed in the "Pike Twp. Cemeteries of Perry County, Ohio" .... Pg. 107 Maplewood / New Lexington Cemetery: Cush, Rev. Father Austin A. b. 18 Aug. 1854 Ordained 26 May, 1888 d. 23 April 1942 Lg Cross with Jesus (Beloved Pastor of St. Rose Church from 23 June 1897 until his final reward) We probably have his interment date in the Maplewood Interment book, if you need that, also. At one time, there was a separate area in this cemetery for those of the Catholic faith. I don't think this practice is followed today. It is the largest cemetery in Pike Twp. and was probably named for all the large maple trees. It is very well maintained with brick and / or paved roadways throughout. Lovely setting. Today many people walk through this cemetery for the quiet and the exercise. Hope this helps. Sue S. Perry Co.
