The Woods-Reed Cemetery in Union Township, Union County, Ohio
The oldest cemetery in Union Township is the Woods-Reed Cemetery. It is located on Orchard Road, just southeast of Sam Reed Road. The cemetery was started around 1813 by the Upper Liberty Presbyterian Church. The land that was used for the cemetery came from parts of property once owned by George and Josiah Reed and Samuel Wood. This cemetery has had some upkeep in recent years. But, it is a prime candidate for a complete restoration as many of the pioneer gravestones are broken.

I also have the reading done by the Union County Genealogical Society. Do you have a specific research need or question on this cemetery?
ReplyDeleteIs there a headstone in this Cemetery for Henry Shover(1750-1831) and his wife Rosanna? My research says he should be located in Row 15, grave 14. He would be a Revolutionary War Veteran. Thank you
