Hamilton Cemetery

Summit Township, Monroe County, Ohio

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

To get to the Hamilton Cemetery from Lewisville, proceed west on Rt. # 78 from the intersection of Ohio Routes # 145 and # 78 a distance of about 2.7 miles. Summit Twp. Road # T-71 (an unpaved road) is on the right. In the winter of 2003 when these measurements were made, T-71 was unmarked at the Ohio Rt. # 78 turn-off. From the intersection of Ohio Route # 78 and T-71 continue on T-71 a distance of about 0.4 miles to the home of Theresa Ulrich Farnsworth. The Teresa Ulrich Farnsworth farm house is on the left side of the road. The barn to this farm is on the right side of T-71 across from the farmhouse. To get to the Hamilton Cemetery climb the hill behind the Farnsworth farm house. This is private property so be sure to get permission at Ms. Farnsworth to make the trek to the cemetery. Be prepared for a steep climb and hike of about a quarter of a mile. There are 30 tombstones in this cemetery.
