LOCATIONS OF SELECTED SITES

The following are locations of selected sites made using a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. All latitudes and longitudes (L/L) are given in degrees and minutes. Minutes are given to the third decimal place and are generally within about 20 feet of the true location. Elevation is measured in feet above sea level. Elevation measurements are usually within 30 feet of the true elevation. For more information about where these data come from and how you can include your own data, click here. For more information about Latitudes and Longitudes and their relationship to the GPS and this database, click on the highlighted words “Latitudes and Longitudes” in this sentence.

Cemetery, (Farnsworth)* Cemetery (Site # 217)

Elevation: 1114’ (corrected to ground level)

Latitude: N 39^o 43.277’

Longitude: W081^o 13.504’

Description: This measurement was made on top of the gravestone of Mary Worth died (month not readable) 28, 1811, aged 47 years 10 months and 1 day. The name of this cemetery was unknown to me (R. Harrington) at the time this measurement was made. I subsequently was told by Dennis and Ruth Weber, who own land nearby, that the cemetery was cleared a few years ago by an old man named Mr. Farnsworth (now deceased) and that the Trustees now keep it maintained. I have used the name “Farnsworth Cemetery” as a temporary name because the old man named Farnsworth who cleared the cemetery of brush and trees claimed that his kin were buried there and that the cemetery name was the Farnsworth Cemetery. This cemetery can be found by starting at the intersection of Ohio Route # 78 and Monroe County Route # 145 in Lewisville, Ohio; continue southwest for about one mile (approximate) on Monroe County Route # 145 (in the direction of Stafford) to Monroe County Route # 77. Turn left onto Rt. 77 and go about one-half mile to Monroe County Route # 17. Go right on Rt. # 17 for about 1½ miles to where Monroe County Route # 99 intersects Rt. # 17. Turn right onto Rt. # 99 and proceed about three quarters of a mile. This stretch of road on Rt. # 99 is known locally as Smith Hill. At the top of Smith Hill, a small un-numbered dirt road or lane turns off to the left. This road will accommodate an automobile in dry or frozen weather but in wet weather, maybe not. This cemetery is out this road about a quarter mile, on top of a knoll on the right side of the road. The cemetery cannot be seen from the road. Note: As of the year 2004, there is an abandoned house on the left almost immediately upon entering this un-numbered road. Proceed along this road until you come to a hunting trailer on the left. At this point, you have passed the cemetery maybe 100 yards or so. All of the distances given in this description are rough estimates – allow for possible significant error.
