Darke Co. Cemeteries
Immediately below are the cemeteries of Darke Co., Ohio, as listed/transcribed in the seven volumes of the Cemetery Inscriptions series. Are there any more Lookup Volunteers ???? The readings were made and/or compiled mostly in the 1960's and published during the early 1970's by Anita Short, Certified Genealogist, and her mother Ruth Bowers. The readings of Short & Bowers were taken by rows and -not- later alphabetized by surname. This method permits finding some, not all, individual family members who were buried in promximity but with another (married?) surname. Each volume contains a surname index and these can be helpful, but as only surnames are indexed, it can be difficult to find a particular burial. Please be patient with Lookup Volunteers !
A few of the smaller cemeteries of volume 2 have been transcribed and have links as examples of how the Short & Bowers volumes look. Other links are to privately transcribed pages for listed cemeteries. Below those example transcriptions is an alphbetized listing of the cemeteries in Darke Co. from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Note that some known cemeteries were not listed in 1997. You will also find more information about Darke Co. cemeteries at Tom Midlam's Darke County Cemetery Index with links to township maps where the locations are plotted. Also see DCOWeb's Photo Album where links to some cemetery photos may be found.
