Buck Run Cemetery in Allen Township, Union County, Ohio

Today my Union County Cemetery tour travels into Allen Township.  There are just two cemeteries in Allen Township.  The oldest of these two cemeteries is the Buck Run Cemetery.


Buck Run Cemetery dates to approximately 1832. One of the first people to have been buried here was Daniel Allen, for whom Allen Township was named. The Buck Run Methodist Episcopal Church was once located near this cemetery. Between 1838 and 1839 a frame schoolhouse was built adjacent to this cemetery and the Buck Run Church. This cemetery is located on State Route 245 near Buck Run Road. It is located on the bank of Buck Run.  This cemetery is not an active cemetery, but it is still maintained by the township.
