One of the oldest cemeteries in Paris Township is the Amrine Cemetery. It is located on part of the original Amrine land-grant, on the bank of Mill Creek just outside of Marysville, Ohio. Burials in this cemetery date to the 1820s, and include interments of veterans from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. The patriarch of the Union County Amrine family, Abraham Amrine, is buried in this cemetery. The land for the Amrine Cemetery was donated to the Amrine Settlement community by Abraham Amrine. There was once also a school, church, covered bridge, a grist mill, and a sawmill in the vicinity of the Amrine Cemetery. The cemetery has been maintained and restored by both members of the Amrine family and the Paris Township Trustees. An Ohio Historical Marker was placed at the entrance of the Amrine Cemetery in 2003. This marker commemorates the Amrine Settlement, Family, and cemetery.

Dear Rebekah, I am a direct descendant of Abraham Amrine and very familiar with the Amrine cemetery, Church, and Amrine mill. There was once a covered bridge that went across Mill creek there adjacent to the cemetery but burned down before I was born. It does my heart good to know that this historical site is being cared for. My uncle John helped to establish the site.
