It is important to note that there are two Haning Cemeteries in Athens County, Ohio. There is Haning Cemetery at the intersection of Chase and McCoy Roads and Haning Baptist Church Cemetery which is on Pleasant Valley Road near the village of Shade.

There are several Ackley, Haning, Miller, and Carsey burials in Haning Baptist Church Cemetery. This cemetery, founded in 1838, sits on top of the hill immediately behind the ruins of the Baptist Church building. Many on-line maps show this cemetery as being on Chase Road or Possum Hollow Road. It is in fact on County Road 68, which is Pleasant Valley Road. It is the second road on the right of Rainbow Lake Road if approaching from State Route 33. The street sign clearly indicates Pleasant Valley Road, if you are looking for signs stating Chase Road or Possum Hollow Road then you will miss your turn. If you get to the T intersection of Rainbow Lake Road and Pleasant Hill Road then you have gone too far.

This cemetery is well maintained and the stones are in very good condition. There is off street parking enough for one car. The hill does not have a steep incline and is easy to walk up.
