New California Cemetery in New California, Jerome Township, Union County, Ohio

Wow!  The titles to my blog posts seem to be a little bloated. . .  but historians and genealogists alike insist on great precision in accurately identifying the location of places.  The New California Cemetery is located on the west side of Industrial Parkway just north of US Route 42 in the tiny village of New California, Ohio.  Industrial Parkway is known by many old timers in Union County as old 33.

The New California Cemetery is the final resting place of US veterans from all wars.  The cemetery dates to 1820, and its use coincides with the history of the adjacent New California Presbyterian Church.  This graveyard has also been called the New California Presbyterian Cemetery and the California Cemetery.  This cemetery is currently under the care of the Jerome Township Trustees and it was fully restored in the early 2000s.
