Cemetery History

Accepted Answer

Crow Corners Cemetery is a public cemetery that still has an occasional interment.  It is located on the south side of Crow Road just west of Yost Road.   The one acre of grounds is surrounded on three sides by woods and descends into a valley.  The property was owned by the Crow family through the late 1800s, but the first known burial was Rufus Burr on February 11, 1850.No burials are permitted on Sundays or major holidays except at the discretion of the sexton and then at fees quoted for the grave opening.Litchfield Center Cemetery began as a one-acre purchase in 1850, and the first burial was on June 13, 1831 for thirteen-year-old Jane Strait, daughter of new colonist Asa.  According to The Story of Litchfield, Ohio by The Litchfield Historical Society, Jane’s was “the first death that took place in the township, and the funeral services were the first open religious services ever held in the colony.”  The Litchfield Cemetery currently has over 1,650 burials on almost 13 acres of land.  Currently, only the front five acres are in use, while the remaining acreage is reserved for future expansion.
