These photos are a combination of several trips I have made over the last ten years to document the Harlan - Allen - Davis and related families. I want to thank Evelyn A. Davis for showing me this cemetery and the beautiful countryside where the cemetery is located.

Ken Kothe contributed a file of the inscriptions of the stones to the USGenWeb Archives in September 1997.

Any questions or comments, you can email me.

Jehu Harlan and his wife, Susannah Moore, donated the original acre of land. Jehu died in 1855, shortly after coming to this county from Richland County, Ohio. Many of his descendants are buried here as well as a great-great-granddaughter who was buried here in 1915. The cemetery is now almost four acres and was used by settlers of both Pittsford Twp., Butler County and Ingham Twp. in Franklin County to the west.

And sweet the stain which angels pour
Oh why should we in anguish weep
They are not lost but gone before."
