Monnett Chapel Cemetery is in Bucyrus Township, Crawford County Ohio at the the southeast corner of the intersection of Ohio Route 98 and Monnett Chapel Road. Established by Reverend Jeremiah Crabb Monnett shortly he and his family moved to Crawford County from Pickaway County Ohio in 1835. Monnett was a preacher in the Methodist Episcopal (M.E.) Church and most of the early burials were members of the congregation that he established at the site. Many of these early families moved north with Monnett and his family in 1835. In 1903 a substantial blue limestone chapel designed in the French Norman style by Frank Packard (AIA) of Columbus was erected on the site. The Chapel is listed on that National Register of Historic Places. Dominating the cemetery is the Monnett Memorial, a large black granite avenue of headstones and markers (most of which are cenotaphs). A complete census of burials was recorded and published in the 1980s. The majority of the 107+ graves found at that time are laid in rows; there are no historical maps of all the burials. From that walking, burials numbered 108 through 129 were identified as unmarked, and their placement in the list doesn't correspond to the grave's actual location. Monnett Chapel and the cemetery remain in the Monnett family; a baptist congregation occupies the chapel at present (2019) but does not participate in the management of the cemetery. In 2017 the cemetery stopped accepting new burials.
