Curry Cemetery in Jerome Township, Union County, Ohio
The Curry family was a prominent pioneer family in Jerome Township. They owned land on present-day Crottinger Road near US Route 42. It was upon this land that Colonel James Curry was interred after his death in 1834. His remains were later moved to Oakdale Cemetery in Marysville. However, other members of the Curry family were also interred here. Records do not indicate if all bodies were moved from this cemetery.

The Beard Cemetery in Plain City, Ohio
Little is known about the Beard Cemetery. All I have been able to find is that graves were recorded at the site in 1942 by the WPA. The best guess at this cemetery's location places it near State Route 161 in the center of Plain City. If anyone knows more about this little graveyard, please let me know!
