Oak Grove Cemetery. Recorded and compared against J. Robert Swank's 1967 records.
Cemetery Notes
Well maintained. In 1967 J. Robert Swank noted, "Unknown marked graves Millers, Shoemakers, Reedys, Daughterys and others." Plaque on the Mount Grove Church of the Brethren reads, 1877 - 1950. There are three sections. Section 001 is located across the road from the church. It was recorded by starting the row nearest the church and going up the hill (east to west). Facing headstone, they were recorded from left to right (south to north). Section 002 is the old cemetery and is on the same side of the road as the church and a little further down the road. Rows are recorded by starting with the row closest to the church. Section 003 is the new section behind the church. Rows are recorded by starting by the church and headstones are recorded from top of the hill down to the church parking lot. In Section 003 there is a marker that reads: 3 acres of land back of this stone donated in memory of Brennaman brothers and sisters - A. D. "Doug", John R., Syram R., David E. and Annie L.
