The Old Millcreek Cemetery of Liberty Township, Union County, Ohio

The Millcreek Cemetery was a public graveyard established near the pioneer village of Lunda.  It was used for many years through the mid 1800s.  It ceased to be an active burial ground when it was discovered that people were burying plague victims under the guise of darkness.  This abandoned cemetery is south of Hoover Bault Road and east of Coder-Holloway Road.  With the opening of the New Millcreek Cemetery near the Old Disciple Church, this cemetery became referred to as the Old Millcreek Cemetery.
