Also Christian, Jacob and John Gingrich are buried in the same sect. & lot.
These monuments and others were moved. When researching the original cemetery I located this information:
Per the Centennial History of Butler County, Ohio pg. 332: The Middletown Cemetery was laid off and platted by James Heaton, civil engineer, in 1827, and was taken out of the southeast quarter of section 28, as entered by Moses Vail, and sold to Daniel Doty, who made the grant to the cemetery. The original trustees were Israel Gibson, John M. Barnett and Robert Campbell. By special act of the legislature, the Middletown Cemetery Association was organized and, under the authority of this act, took charge of this burial site and placed it upon a better and more certain footing; enlarged the yard by new purchases and beauified the grounds. The new trustees were William B. Oglesby, Joseph L. Kelly, John Corson, Thomas Wilson, Edward Jones, S. V. Curtis, G. Rathman, E. E. Wampler, C. W. Sutphin, J. C. Farries, J. D. Collins, William More, C. S. Barnitz, C. F. Gunckel, J. B. Harley and J. J. Potter, all of whom are dead and were buried in this yard, except Dr. C. S. Barnitz, who is still active. This yard is still sacredly and carefully cared for by C. B. Oglesby, Charles E. Denny, E. L. McCally and C. S. Barnitz, trustees.
