Add PhotosCrawford Cemetery is located in the eastern peninsula of Scioto Township east of the Scioto River, west of Section Line Road, and approximately 750 feet South of SR-36 on private property owned by National Lime and Stone Company.
The cemetery is the center of controversy regarding National Lime and Stone Company's intentions. The only evidence that remains of the cemetery is the memorial stone to the freed-slaves. Scioto Township Trustees have removed the grave markers and placed them in a barn owned by the township. Although township trustees claim they have no right, nor responsibility, to preserve and maintain the cemetery, they have worked in conjunction with the stone quarry to remove the stones.

CRAWFORD AND McCLURE FAMILIES AFTER BEING GRANTED FREEDOM.
KNOWN BURIALS: John and Susan Kelly 5, and 6 years.
